- Description: It is interesting to note the apparent differences in tone between the scale of the harp and the voice. Iganitiyo, the harp, made friends with Chief K. Omudeka and he visited him at his place over the border in Kenya. He was surprised at the great amount of land which was under cultivation there. He entertained the chief every evening of his visit by playing and singing to his Adedeu harp. Topical song with five string Adedeu horizontal harp, clapping and leg rattles, 1 side blown Aluti horn.

- Description: Many years ago, the royal musicians, they say, found that the servants at the Kabaka's palace were afraid to waken the Kabaka in case they were reprimanded for so doing. So the musicians played music on the flutes and drums at daybreak to rouse the household. This was a great relief to the servants who left this tactful duty to the Abalere in future. The flute band plays also during the mid morning and last thing at night before sleeping. Song for the Kabaka's household with 3 Ndere flutes, end blown, notched, open, 1 cylindrical drum, pinned (-14.01201-), 3 conical drums, laced (-14.22301-).
