  • Description: In this case, the Ndano movement comes before Ngeniso which appears to be unusual. There were 16 dancers and they took their 'call' while away to one side. The order and style of movements is decided by the leader of the orchestra and the leader of the dancers between them and varies from village to village. The words of the verses which underkie this movement are not heard in this recording but only the Tokozela exclamations and cries. Orchestral dance with 6 Timbila, 4 Sanzhe, 1 Debiinda, 1 Gulu and 1 rattle.

  • Description: Luzi Chowani is the name of the leader of the dancers. The drum which is used for this movement, in some but not all Chopi villages, is played to one side of the orchestra and slightly in front of the players. It is played rapidly with two sticks. The player was the son of Bokisi who came with me to Durban in 1943. The boy Kalozi is hoping that the girl Madikinyana will marry him and cherish his home. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones, 2 Chilanzne (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass) and 4 Njele rattles, 1 drum.

  • Description: It will be noticed that in a Ngodo which has been composed by a number of players the style varies between movements as with the present Ngodo of Zandamela. The advent of a dominating musical personality, such as Katini of Zavala, or Komukomu of Banguza, improves the whole situation. The music takes on a more defined shape. This year 1963 finds the Chopi temporarily short of front rank composers and players. "Listen all you people of Zandamela to hear about the law." Orchestral dance with 14 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 1 Doli (Tenor), 1 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass).

  • Description: "Talking, talking, just talking! Happily eating the food of the women! Tommorrow comes the trouble! Then you will not be able to recognise anybody there." The 'd' is implosive in the word Ndeko. The words of the lyric were not distinct as the dancers dancing in line opposite the timbila were too far away and too out of breath from their exhertions to make themselves heard. The words dictated to me by Shambini were as above. Orchestral dance with 6 Timbila, 4 Sanzhe, 1 Debiinda, 1 Gulu and 1 rattle.

  • Description: The Chibvelani bow was strung with Ilala palm leaf and the player used all four fingers of the left hand to stop the string and not the more usual one or two, hence the more interesting meloduc possibilities. The bow is resonated in the open mouth, the palm leaf passing between, but not touching, the parted lips. The musical principal is the same as that of the Jews Harp, a vibrating medium suspended in front of the mouth cavity, the pitch of the notes being controlled by altering the shape of the mouth and throat. The performer is virtually singing silently. "I am weeping because my wife has left me though I still loved her." In this song, the singer says who he is, where he is, and the name of his chief, as well as other remarks. He continued his first song with additional verses in his third item. Tune on Chitende stressed bow.
