- Description: The girls wore rattles strapped to their right ankles. The costume was composed of rather long cotton blouses, skirts, trousers and grass skirts over all. The drum was hung onto a stick planted into the soft sand and was played with two light sticks by a blind drummer. Luzi Chowane is the leader of the Ngodo dancers and composed this item for the girls to dance, directing it by whistle. He altered the tone of the whistle by placing finger and thumb on either side of the fipple. This can be heard best during the drum solo. As with so much African dance music the sight of the dance is often more entertaining than the sound of the dance music. This movement lasrs 4m. 50s. when they give 'cries', followed by the second movement at 5m. 20s. which in turn is followed by short 'tokozela' cries at 6m. 40s. Young girls dance with drum Muchinga, clapping with wooden clappers, hand clapping and whistle.

- Description: Komukomu started this attractive melody very quickly while a few members of the orchestra interpolated occasional notes. When we recorded this item they played rather more loudly than before and lost something of the charm of this solo performance. As the road to Regulo Banguza's village was at the time impassable, Komukomu and his musicians walked over to Mavila's village with their instruments for this recording, a distance of about six miles. The drift across the river was temporarily out of use on account of recent floods. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 4 players (-14.52102-).

- Description: Two pairs, of small girls who had previously danced the "Chingomane" danced in front of the line of dancers during the "Mabadlha". This appears to be an inovation of recent times. During this long movement the dancers perform their pas de deux and the music must continue until all have had their turn. Afterwards the song is sung in the background to end the movement. "The way you are living is because you are clever. To be chief you must not get drunk or you will weep when your chieftanship disappears. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double bass).

- Description: A line of young girls including those who had danced their "Chingomani" dance during the morning moved up to the orchestra behind the line of men when they moved forward. This very short Msumetso was by way of being a skit on the impression left upon them by Portuguese music and military words of command, the dancers performing various typical actions of soilders being drilled with Kutokozela cries. The retreat, with preliminary cries. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass) and 4 Njele rattles.

- Description: Unlike other villagers, the women sang Mzeno with the men. I had not previously seen this in any other Chopi village, but it now appears to have become popular and can be seen at Canda's village as well. No time limit was set for the rendering and consequently this represents a normal village performance. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), and Njele rattles.

- Description: Luzi Chowani is the name of the leader of the dancers. The drum which is used for this movement, in some but not all Chopi villages, is played to one side of the orchestra and slightly in front of the players. It is played rapidly with two sticks. The player was the son of Bokisi who came with me to Durban in 1943. The boy Kalozi is hoping that the girl Madikinyana will marry him and cherish his home. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones, 2 Chilanzne (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass) and 4 Njele rattles, 1 drum.

- Description: The composer of this item, Matauli Chitombi sat on the left of the leader playing a Dole or Bingwe in the front row. The dancers sang to this item, a somewhat unusual practice, as most Msitso are not accompanied by a lyric, the orchestra finishing the dance by itself while the dancers leave the floor. In this case they stayed and sang the verse. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophone orchestra.
