- Description: According to Father de Nolf, quoted by le Pere van Bulck, S. J., the BaLuba Lubilashi used to pay a tax to these Kanyoka chiefs who were themselves the envoys of the Luba emperors from Kasongo Nyembo. In return for their submission they recieved the chieftainship and its external signs: a vase to contain kaolin, a hat, a sceptre, a tortoise and a lion's skin. The Kanyoka have adopted many elements of the underlying culture of the Kasai and its Luba people Kamwendende dance with 2 guitars, 2 basket rattles, 3 goblet drums, and piece of struck metal

- Description: "The Kanyoka captured the chief of the Kasai people on the other side of the river, cut off his head, put it in a pot of beer and drank the beer." It is not certain from the context to which tribal wars this incident refers, if any. It may well be a form of boasting or braggadocio. Topical song with 2 guitars, 3 basket rattles and 1 bottle.

- Description: Although the slit drum, or gong, is used for sending messages among this Congo tribe which lives beside the Bushimaie tributary of the Sankuru, itself a tributary of the Kasai, the great southern aem of the Congo River, it is also used as an accompaniment for dances. It is not known for certain whether it is used to communicate with the dancers during the course of a dance, as is the common practice in West Africa; but from present evidence this appears to be unlikely among the Kanyoka. Kalibambo dance song with 2 Silimba xylophones, 1 slit drum, 3 gobolet drums, handbeaten and 2 basket rattles.
