- Description: This is the first Chopi Ngodo ever recorded and published. It is described in my book "Chopi Muscians" Oxford University Press. The recordings were taken on glass based acetate discs in November 1943 and copied onto tape in October 1963. With the exception of a few verses omitted from one or two of the lyrics this version, performed away from home in the broadcasting studios of SABC Durban, Natal, is the same as a village performance but without the dancers. The players themselves sang all the words which are normally sung by the dancers. As there were no dance routines to be completed during the performance, each item is rather shorter than it would have been in the home village. With these minor exceptions the Ngodo is the complete work; all of it the composition of its leader Katini, a leading figure in Chopi music for 40 years. He died in 1948 about 60 years old. Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.

- Description: Lambo Diki Muchinga is the son and grandson of two famous Timbila makers in this district Muchinga, who died about 1945 and his son Ngilishi Muchina who, between them, have made most of the beautiful instruments of these two Migodo of Regulo Canda and Cabo Mtoti. By some strange oversight the fourth movement, the Ngeniso, entry of the dancers, was omitted, the leader going straight on his Mweniso. This error was not noticed until too late. It was caused perhaps by the fact that the dancers had already been dancing before our arrival since early morning and so were, so to speak, already on the dance floor. Orchestral dance with 22 Timbila xylophones - 6 Chilanzane (Treble), 5 Sange (Alto), 5 Doli (Tenor), 3 Debiinda (Bass), 3 Gulu (Double Bass).
