- Description: Contemplation of death, its inevitability, and its constant appearance, is an important subject in many African folk songs. The apparent joie de vivre displayed at the feast and dance after a funeral is strange to foreign ideas but typical of Africa. Egba funeral dances with Gudu-gudu slit drums, N'dima conical laced drums.

- Description: The instruments played by the Alur are typical of the Congo family of Likembe, or box Mbira. The Alur are one of the great Luo groups of tribes and are found both in Uganda and North East Congo. These two Likembe are an octave apart and sound very well played together, though the singing in the first song is crude in comparison with the delicacy of the accompaniment. The song 'Ndiri' with its brilliant accompaniment was so striking that I recorded it a second time to see what variations the players would employ. Both editions are reproduced on this disc for close comparision. The treble Likembe is called Natine and the bass Minu an octave lower. Topical song with Likembe and a struck stick.
