  • Description: Composed in 1943, 20 years before, this Mxeno is still played and loved all over Chopiland. It was recorded on this occasion under almost impossible conditions with a high wind and driving showers of rain. It was intended to demonstrate the singing rather than the Timbila playing which in fact was not very good. The words of this Mzeno, almost unaltered since it was first composed by Katini, appear in my book "Chopi Muscians" P24 and 25. It will be noticed that the present players and singers end the Mxeno on the last verse of the lyric without repaeating the first stanza as a coda, which Katini himself used to do. Each verse, by tradition, is repeated. The Timbila of the leader was not well strapped up, hence the rattle of the slats against the beaerers. Orchestral dance, with 15 Timbila xylophones and 4 Njele rattles.
