Description: This Ngodo of Zavala's village was played and danced in the year following the composer Katini's death. It had been composed by him mostly during the months when he felt himself to be slowly dying of tuberclosis and was fast losing his strenght but never his passion for his Timbila music. The leadership of the village orchestra was taken over by his son, Katinyane, assisted by two other villagers, Hafu wa Maba and Pondekane. In time new compositions replaced those of the old master. The opening numbers of this Ngodo are not up to the old standard but the Mzeno, Mtsumeto and final Chiriri show clearly the stamp of Katini. The first three Msitso have not been included in this disc for lack of space. Orchestral dance.

Mzeno Lawanani michanja

Subjects: Folk music--Africa , Music--Mozambique , Folk songs, Chopi , Chopi (African people) , Field recordings , Africa, Sub-Saharan , Africa Mozambique Mavila f-mz
Language: Chopi
Type: sound recordings , field recordings , sound recording-musical

Description: This Mzeno, composed in 1940, was first recorded in Durban on 21st November 1943 when I took 6 Chopi musicians from their homes to demonstrate their music in that city. This group included the two famous leaders and composers, Katini and Komukomu's early Mzeno was, at my special request, performed again. It did not appeal to me to be quite the same as the original recording in Durban so I asked Komukomu why this was so. He suggested that it might be because he sometimes played it in a different key. He thereupon played it again and both versions were recorded, the one (CP-6) in the same key as the 1943 version and the other (CP-7) a third (307 cents) lower. This proves that in their scale it is possible to change mode or key without too much distortion and both versions are reproduced here for comparision with the original recording which is to be found on TR-209. Since no recourse to a written notation is, or was, possible to the players their three versions are of great musicological importance. It will be noted that the singers do not necessarily sing the same verses or in the same order as in the original, which is printed in my Chopi musicians page 34. The scale of Komukomu's Timbila xylophone an alto Sange was:- 496, 448, 404, 364, 328, 296, 272, 248 vs. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones.

Description: The verses sung by the dancers in their own village are not quite the same as those I first wrote down and published in "Chopi Musicians". It emphasies the point that verses may be dropped or others added during the lifetime of the song. There is no rule to say that a lyric shall always be sung as at first composed. The leader can 'call' what verses he pleases. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones.

Sitiki was once working in the Johammesburg mines and sent his coat to the tailor to be mended because it was torn. The tailor put leather onto the tear. When Sitiki came for it and asked him why he put on leather patches the tailor said, "because of the Germans". The man went away and made a song that all English material came from Germany, and that was why he had to have leather patches on his coat. Orchestral dances with Timbila xylophones.

Description: Ngeniso, the entry of the dancers, and the exit of the dancers at the end of the Ngodo are the only movements in which a drum us used with the Timbila xylophones, and not every village uses drums. Some say that the loud noise of the drum spoils the music. This item could give substance to their objection, but Banguza's village the drum is preferred. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 16 players (-14.52102-).
