  • Description: The rhythm was tapped out on the body of the Likembe by a friend with a pen knife, the same tapping rhythm that is found from Angola across the continet to the Indian ocean. Luvale players often sit on a log or stool, lean over and play their instrument low down near the ground with obe arm coming from behind one leg and the other in front. A friend takes any convenient stick or piece of metal and taps out the inevitable rhythm on the body of the instrument itself avoiding the players thumbs which are plucking the tips of the reeds. Topical song with Likembe Mbira, with 8 notes above box and a knife

  • Description: This was sung when the late Chief Nyakutolo died and his successor took his place. Although there was only one woman in this group it was clear that they felt her part to be essential as they would not start the song until she arrived. The form of Luvale singing is complex and to an outsider at first appears disjointed but in fact it is well organised and the responses understood and followed by all the people without difficulty. Song at the succession of a Chief, with Chisanzhi bamboo tongued Mbira, 2 struck sticks, bottle and small bell
