  • Description: This item was recorded in the Eastern Transvaal where the performers had come to work on a citrus estate. In spite of over a century of osolation from the main Ngoni peoples, these Ngoni of Nyasaland still retain in their music, dancing and customs, the traits of their distant relatives in the South. Musically it is interesting to note that many Ngoni seem to be able to sing in either the pentatonic modes of the Zulu groups or adopt the heptatonic modes of their mother's people who have married into the Ngoni clans. Ngoma wedding song with stamping and hand clapping.

  • Description: This somg is taken from an old Ngoni regimental song which would, in the old days, have been used only as a song after hunting. This style of singing is indigenous to Zululand rather than Nyasaland and was brought up north in the early nineteenth century migration of the two distinct groups, the Jiri and the Gomani. The Jiri came up through the highlands of what is now Southern Rhodesia and sacked the settlement at Zimbabwe on their way. In one or two words the change over from the Zulu "L" to the Nyasa "R" can be discerned. After hunting and killing a lion the party will dance the Mgubo before the chief and earn an ox in reward. Mgubo dance song, after hunting leopard or lion
