  • Description: The leader is well knon in Tabora as a cafe entertainer particularly for his humorous interjections - he starts by introducing himself by name. The record was made in a small room which serves as a club and opens out directly onto the street. The small xylophone was said to have come from the other side of Lake Tanganyika in the Congo from the Manyema people. Many members of Congo tribes have migrated into Tanganyika across the lake on account of the trade by the railway to coast used first by the Arabs and later by the railway to Dar-es-Salaam. The sons of these men who still claim to be tribesmen of the Congo were born in Tanganyika and speak and sing only in Swahili. The style is not local and perhaps originates in the Albertville region of Southern Congo. The tone of voice of these cafe singers is typical of those whose major payment is in kind, whic after a while blurs the edge of their voices and their performances. Humorous song, with Malimba xylophone x 8 and Basket rattle.
