For purposes of this recording, the verses were not repeated as is usual with Mzeno. This Mzeno of Chief Mahikete (Canda) is about the payment of poll tax and the wish of the people to escape payment by running along to Mnyokowela in the Panda district, as they did in the old days when fighting against Shangaans. But, alas today the white men are at Panda also, so it would be no good. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones orchestra

As soon as they are tired, their places would be taken by two others. The singing horns here are usually manufactured by a local tin smith from galvanised flat iron usually taken from old kerosine tins. One of the horns used was the horn of an old acoustic gramophone. The use of singing horns made of metal is a speciality of the GiTonga. They are played with very noisy drums and struck iron, and the result is deafening rather than musical. Party dance for men and women, with 1 brass drum Bombo, 1 small steel drum made from a bucket, 1 Chingomane flat iron, 4 Puundu singing horns, 1 rattle.

- Description: This is the story of a young orphan boy who was told to take his turn to herd all the the cattle of the village where he lived. But it was a time of drought and there was nothing for the cattle to eat. When his turn came he took them far away into the hills and then he sang a magic song. The rain came down in torrents, the grass grew and the cattle were happy. When they came back full. One of the men followed him to find out how it happened and heard and saw what he did. He was so impressed that he promised to give the boy his daughter in marriage and told what he had seen to all the village. They arranged a big party for the orphan boy during which he demonstrated how he sang and how the rain came for him. So he married the girl and they all lived happily ever afterwards and they made him their chief to rule over them. Ngano story.
