  • Description: "We are the Tipoyi carriers of the Chief." This song was performed by the tipoyi carriers of Chief Ebandrombi. In this heavily wooded country of central and north eastern Congo most of the Chiefs, notables and officials use the sedanchair as their principal means of transport along the narrow forest paths. This is an attractive melody reminiscent of melodies composed by the Bemba of Northern Rhodesia which are also characterized by singing in parallel thirds. Work song with basket rattle.

  • Description: The ultimate objective of this research is the elucidation of the mechanism of the resorcinol-formaldehyde condensation. Whilst a vast literature has been built up about the phenol- formaldehyde condensation, that of resorcinol has received but scant attention, probably because the high reactivity of resorcinol rendered the following of the condensation extremely difficult. The earliest observation concerning the resorcinol-formaldehyde condensation was due to Baeyer who, in 1872, condensed resorcinol with various aldehydes. When the aldehyde was relatively inactive crystalline compounds were obtalned but with acetaldehyde or formaldehyde a resinous product resulted. In 1892 Caro condensed an excess ot resorcinol with formaldehyde in the presence of dilute hydrochloric acid; the product obtained recrystallised from alcohol as white microsoopic crystals, decomposed without melting at 250° and was stated to be bis (2- 4 dihydroxyphenyl) methane ... In decidlng upon the most suitable lines of attack it would seem that a survey of the literature relating to the phenol-formaldehyde concentration which might be expected to be closely related to that of resorcinol, would be of value.

  • Description: "If ever I have a man out in prison I shall take him to the tribunal first." The tuning of bamboo notes is not easy as with metal notes on account of the nature of the overtones produced by bamboo. The tuning of these Ngombi Likembe was not quite the same as in the previous items, the reeds of bamboo from left to right was 236, 152, 212, 138, 200, 182, 166 and 332 vs. which gives a heptatonic scale:- 332, (304), (276), 236, 212, 200, 182, 166, 152, 138 vs. The top of this bowl shaped likembe was sewn onto the body which was made from a solid log hollowed out like a bowl with an 8" handle. The body was 21" broad and 7" deep. Topical song with Ngombi Likembe with bamboo notes.
