  • Description: These horns, Makondere, are made of horn and of calabash gourds combined, bound together with skin (mostly cows tail) to keep the joints tight. They are cut open across the small end where a finger hole makes two notes possible on each horn. The mouthpiece is cut rectangularly on the side of the horn near the small end. These Makondere horn bands are now played upon special occasions at the chief's place. In the old days, they say, they were played after fighting when they came to report to the chief how they had fared. Victory song, after fighting with Makondere side blown horns, 1 conical laced drum (-14.22303-), 1 cylindrical, footed, pegged drum (14.01101-).

  • Description: The fishermen haul in their nets onto the shore and call to each other instructions and encoragement. Lake Victoria is called Nyanja by the Haya people. "Open the door and let me out, I want to go to the village beyond." The singing of the fishermen as they go fishing out on the lake at night is a feature of the district. Their voices can be heard for miles across the quiet waters of the lake in behind the islands which protect their bay. They used a drum, they said, to help their singing as normally they would beat the gunwale of their canoe with the paddles. Fishing song, with conical laced drum beaten with sticks and clapping.
