- Description: This Ngodo of Zavala's village was played and danced in the year following the composer Katini's death. It had been composed by him mostly during the months when he felt himself to be slowly dying of tuberclosis and was fast losing his strenght but never his passion for his Timbila music. The leadership of the village orchestra was taken over by his son, Katinyane, assisted by two other villagers, Hafu wa Maba and Pondekane. In time new compositions replaced those of the old master. The opening numbers of this Ngodo are not up to the old standard but the Mzeno, Mtsumeto and final Chiriri show clearly the stamp of Katini. The first three Msitso have not been included in this disc for lack of space. Orchestral dance.

- 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.

- Description: The newly composed words of this Mdano are most interesting to anyone long familar with Chopi music. They demonstrate the constant vitality in Chopi musicians and dancers, which shows no sign of declining, a joy in this art form which is uniquely theirs. One great difficulty remains with the recorder; that of attempting to transcribe the Chopi words as sung. Orchestral dance with 14 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 1 Doli (Tenor), 1 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass).
