  • Description: Since recording these two items in 1950, I have been told that these stamping tubes almost if not all together absolete and no longer to be found in Kamba country. The Kyaa is a traditional instrument among the Kamba. It consists of a hollowed tube of euphorbia wood about 3-4 feet long, slightly bulging, with a hide cap on the lower end. A wire is attached to this membrane and passed up the length of the tube and is fixed at the top. If properly tuned it would help the column of air to vibrate when the tube is struck vertically on the ground. A handle is provided at the top of the tube by which the player grips the Kyaa and beats it on the ground. A circlet of metal rattles is also attached to the tube. Love song with Kyaa stamping tubes and Iamba Malebe tin rattles.

  • Description: A new young people's dance. The boys dance in a group and the girls in another within the circle, the two drummers standing on one side. It consists of a number of simple rhythmic steps. The sound of the drums and whistle overshadows the voices in the recording, which in fact is the impression gained by spectators outside the circle of dancers. Saca dance song for boys and girls with two Maanje goblet drums, clapping (-12.03-) and whistles (-11.515-)

  • Description: A song touching upon a number of subjects. "When on the point of death you have no strength left to talk. If you dream about a person dying it may mean your own death is near." "The English wanted to fly up to heaven to see God by means of aeroplanes. But they failed. God sent them a limited height of tweleve miles." A the time when this was recorded this height was, in fact, approximately the altitude record for an aeroplane. (Thanks are due, it would appear, to the information Bureau). "A certain man was sick in the evening and when he was given medicine he cried out with pain." The tuning of the instrument was, 248, 220, 202, 174, 144, 130, 110, 101 but the order of the notes themselves on the instrument does not follow the sequence of the scale. Topical song, with Ntongoli 8 string lyre.

  • Description: One of the best known tunes in all the Shona area of Southern Rhodesia. It has been associated with the older generation of forefathers and consquently played at all tribal or royal functions. The cock is above the Chief, because he wakes up still earler. Girls, let me make a magic. Grandmothers food! there is something suspicious under the plate. Which makes my heart turn over, (makes me want to be sick). My relative, my girl, dance well to delight my heart. Leave your husband and let us dance. Whatever happens we will pay for it, mu mother. What I have said is very little, and not enough to stop you cooking food. Girls just let me walk all over it. You girls, you refuse anyone until you feel you are about to die. I am also a man like other men. I am a cock, I am a ... (word not clear) and my spurs are worn out with strutting, (the ruffling of the wing feathers against the leg). The fowls have no holes in the village. Outside the village thay are afraid of cutting the trees. The older men with beards interfere. It is only their beards which make them sorry people. The Ndebele want administration all the time, and to pick and chose what they like from the cattle kraal. I am ugly but I am not a cannibal! I may be ugly but I am not a killer! I am ugly but still I do my ploughing! Song for the entertainment of chiefs, with Njari.
