  • Description: "I had a friend but the high God has taken him away." The pauses in the music are caused by the necessity of having to apply spittle to the bow. The fingering of the single string is done by the inside of the 2nd segment of the fingers of the left hand and not by the tips of the fingers. The open string was tuned to 182 vs. The string was made of twisted Wazi bark, it had a small friction pad of Ilala palm leaf (koko) wound onto where the reed bow (uta) was applied to the string. A loop of bark string was used near the Mtowo peg for fine tuning straining the string downwards the Mpini neck. The goat skin membrane was pinned onto a carved wooden bowl with a sound hole cut into its side. Lament, with 1 stringed Karigo lute

  • Description: The string often needs a new palm leaf friction pad and the pitch of the tonic or string note may be changed frequently. The 'resin' of the reed bow is spittle and needs renewing between each verse. This is done by swiftly passing the bow over the tongue of the player. The palm leaf friction pad is made by winding a strip of leaf onto the single string near its resonator at a convenient spot for bowing. It serves not only as a friction pad but also protects the bark string from wearing away at the spot. Karigo dance song for men and women with one string Karigo lute

  • Description: The Kalimba, they say, is a comparatively new to this district and people. They have recently begun to learn it from the Nsenga at Fort Jameson where this player had gone to work on a Europen farm there in 1922. "You always call me 'dear' with your mouth, but what kind of 'dear' is this if you do not let me sleep with you?" This is a pleasnt little melody set against an appropriate accompaniment. The player's old voice does not do his own melody credit, as so often happens among folk singers, and it should be performed by a younger person to bring out its virtue. Love song with Kalimba Mbira (nine notes)
