- Description: Many years ago, the royal musicians, they say, found that the servants at the Kabaka's palace were afraid to waken the Kabaka in case they were reprimanded for so doing. So the musicians played music on the flutes and drums at daybreak to rouse the household. This was a great relief to the servants who left this tactful duty to the Abalere in future. The flute band plays also during the mid morning and last thing at night before sleeping. Song for the Kabaka's household with 3 Ndere flutes, end blown, notched, open, 1 cylindrical drum, pinned (-14.01201-), 3 conical drums, laced (-14.22301-).
