  • Description: These Konjo people live in the foothills of the eastern flank of the Rwenzori Mountains. Their gardens and small huts may be seen from below right up into the cloud level precariously perched on the steep sides of the ever green slopes. The dancers girate in a circle, each man with a single pipe. The song refers to the February ripening of the maize crop. The flutes do not appear to be very accurately tuned, but the players were content with them as they were. Malenge flute dance song for men and women with Ilenga flute ensemble, three conical drums, laced, single and played with sticks.

  • Description: This flute is unusual in that it is made from a single section of banboo 28 inches long by 3/4 inches. The bamboo grows on the higher slopes of the Ruwenzori mountain just above the homes of the Konjo people who live on the foothills below. The first finger hole is 17 inches from the mouthpiece notch. The four holes are played by the first and third fingers of each hand, the thumbs and second fingers holding the flute. Bamboos on the Ruwenzori are said to grow as much as 14 inches per day, which makes them ideal for making flutes as the distance between nodes is long. Nyamulera dance for men with Nyamulera four holed end blown notched flute, two conical drums, laced, single, played with hands.
