  • Description: This recording clearly demonstrates the progress of a single item of music over 20 years among an entirley aural (non-literate) musical people. For purposes of the recording the singers sang each verse only once and not the usual twice each. As a rule Mabandla movements are not allocated interesting melodies as they are preoccupied with pas-de-deux performances which may last several minutes and the main interest is focussed on the individual dancers rather than the music. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This famous song compsed by Katini of Zavala's village is here played by the Ngodo of Zandamela, led by Sancho Nyangele from Cabo Mahamba's village. The original version of the lyric was written in my book 'Chopi musicians' and only a few words have been changed, such as, 'Ucisika msaho' instead of 'Ucisika timbila' in the second verse. The composer, Katini, had died the previous year (1948) but his songs were so appreciated by the whole tribe that several of the village orchestras played his music. One still hears an occasional item of his 1963, fifteen years after his death. Orchestral dance with 28 Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This Mdindo is one of the five movements of the Ngalanga dance for young Chopi boys. They follow an abbreviated pattern of the senior dance, the Ngodo, but with several distinctive characteristics such as the liberal use of drums. The movements in this case were:- 1. Msitso, 2. Ngeniso, 3. Ndano, 4. Mdindo, 5. Msitso wo Gwitisa. In the song which accompanies this movement the Chief Machatini is said to have given orders that the Ngalanga should not be danced to during the week. The young boys did not obey him so he was very angry, called them together and whipped their leader. The song was subsequently composed about this painful event. Dance song for Ngalanga dance, young peoples dance, with 3 treble Timbila xylophones, and three drums (-14.41-).
