- Description: This is a genuine African impression of the emotions surrounding a dance in masks rather than the music of the dance itself. A most interesting piece of music. Towards the end of the item, it would appear that he removes the mask to reveal his familiar self to his friends. It is not clear whether the performer Mate sings 'Tanga na likishi', 'Tamba', 'Tambwa', or 'Tambuka'. Barotseland is the furthest south of all the places where carved wooden masks are made. It is said to be a West African cultural intrusion. Further south only grass masks are sometimes used, but no carved ones. Topical song with Kathandi Mbira, fan with external resonator
