- Description: Introduced by the 'Hino Nacional', the Portuguese national anthem. Women came out in pairs and danced opposite each other, each doing a violent dance du ventre. As soon as they are tired, their places would be taken by two others. The singing horns here are usually manufactured by a local tin smith from galvanised flat iron usually taken from old kerosine tins. One of the horns used was the horn of an old acoustic gramophone. The use of singing horns made of metal is a speciality of the GiTonga. They are played with very noisy drums and struck iron, and the result is deafening rather than musical. Party dance for men and women, with 1 brass drum Bombo, 1 small steel drum made from a bucket, 1 Chingomane flat iron, 4 Puundu singing horns, 1 rattle.

The style of dancing which has persisted among the GiTonga of the Inhambane region for many decades appears to be solely the dance du ventre, performed either by men or women in which almost every possible action of the pelvic region below the waist is employed with tedious repetition. It is doubtful whether teh dance music of the GiTonga would have any attractions for other local tribes.

The Daiero drums were home made and joined together after the fashion of jazz 'Bongo' drums which they are intended to represent.
