- 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: It is interesting to note that the tuning of this Timbila orchestra has remained virtually unchanged for the past 23 years since I first measured it. In 1940 the tonic was 4 vs. higher and except for the fourth note of the present scale which is 8 vs, sharp the pitch of the rest of the scale is almost identical with that of Katini, the famous musician and leader of Zavala's Timbila Ngodo between 1930-1950 (see "Chopi musicians" by Hugh Tracey. Oxford University Press) In this movement of the Ngodo, Mzeno, the dancers come nearer the orchestra of Timbila and sing the 'great song' repeating each verse twice. At 3m. 45s., the dance leader whistles for the last verse, which starts at 3,. 55s. The tuning 496, 448, 408, 372, 328, 304, 276, 248 vs. Dance with orchestra of 15 Timbila and 4 Njele rattles.
