Description: Performers such as these on the lute and lyres are in great demand in Uganda where they still fulfill an important function as dispensers of news and opinions. Most important matters of public concern will find their way into such songs and thus help crystalise public opinion. The efficient musician and composer is thus an integral part of the social scheme in Uganda. Drinking song with Endongo lyre (Bowl lyre), 2 Ndingidi lutes (bow stringed instrument) (-10.54-), 1 large conical laced drum (-14.22301-).

Description: The tune is based upon a song which says that Kalagala was a chief in Busoga who caught and killed the Kabaka's messengers. The Kabaka sent an army in return to destroy him and his people. Feeling has always run high between the Ganda and Soga peoples, the former living on the west and the latter on the east side of the river Nile where it emerges from Lake Victoria Nyanza. The approximate sizes of the drums were:- Ntamivu, big drum, 25 inches across, 37 inches tall. Naku, medium drum, c. 14 inch head, 19 inches tall. Njongo, small drum, c. 12 inch head, 17 inches tall. Tall laced drum. c. 10 inch head, 39 inches tall. The Naku (-14.22301-) was played with the hands, the others (-14.22303-) were played with beaters. The tall drum stood beside the very large Ntamivu and both were played by one man. The tuning of the xylophone was:- 776, 688, 608, 520, 456, 388, 344, 304, 260, 228, 194, 172 v.s. This gives intervals within the octave (from 344 to 172) of 214, 271, 227, 280 and 208 cents. Two instrumental tunes with loose note xylophone and 5 drums (-14.99-), laced, conical.
