  • Description: A daughter weeps for her father whom she will never meet again. 'Bia' means 'a song' and 'Kpe' means 'tears'. Literally - a song of tears. The song is sung around the body of the dead person. There is little to indicate from the style and manner of singing that they indicate sorrow or mourning. To an outsider, Zande mourning songs sound as unconcerned with death as similar songs in other African tribes. Mourning song.

  • Description: Herdman's tune from the highlands on the eastern border of the Congo where the hills run alongside the great western rift opposite the Ruwenzori mountains. This remarkable player was somewhat 'simple' herdsman. He plays his flute all day to his cattle and has developed, they say, a distinct style of his own. He is inclined to hum while he plays and his voiced notes can be heard forming a celeste with those of the flute. The player was given a 'Highly commended' prize in the 1952 Osborn Awards for the best African musicians of the year. The first four tunes were copied frim discs in the Reference Library as the original tapes were not available. Nyamulera flute, 4 holed, notched.

  • Description: "My wife is shivering." A short phrase is quite sufficient upon which to hang the melody and rhythm for the local dance. The Luunda come to the mines of the Copperbelt in large numbers from their home in the north western districts of Northern Rhodesia. In common with many other African folk singers there is a gradual rise in pitch during this song. The empty bottles of different sizes are struck with light pieces of iron, such as 6" nails, or small bolts. Four Sikinta dance song with struck bottles

  • Description: The singer praises the people of the Mamba clan, for surely this is the clan where he found his wife "I do not care for the Nkima (monkey) clan, nor for the Ngabi (antelope) clan but only for the Mamba (lung fish) clan from which she came." The sharp tone of these Endongo lyres is caused by the fact that they have no bridge and the vibrating strings buzz against the membrane of the body. Love song, with 2 Endongo 8 strings lyres.
