- Description: Lambo Diki Muchinga is the son and grandson of two famous Timbila makers in this district Muchinga, who died about 1945 and his son Ngilishi Muchina who, between them, have made most of the beautiful instruments of these two Migodo of Regulo Canda and Cabo Mtoti. By some strange oversight the fourth movement, the Ngeniso, entry of the dancers, was omitted, the leader going straight on his Mweniso. This error was not noticed until too late. It was caused perhaps by the fact that the dancers had already been dancing before our arrival since early morning and so were, so to speak, already on the dance floor. Orchestral dance with 22 Timbila xylophones - 6 Chilanzane (Treble), 5 Sange (Alto), 5 Doli (Tenor), 3 Debiinda (Bass), 3 Gulu (Double Bass).

This last Msitso being a repeat of the first Msitso has not been featured on the discs for lack of space. Tuning: 496, 456, 412, (368), 372, 336, 308, 276, 248 vs. The note 368 vs. was cracked and went flat.

Orchestral introductions with 6 Timbila xylophones, 4 Sanzhi (alto), 1 Debiinda (bass), 1 Gulu (double bass) and 1 Njele (rattle).
