  • Description: This new Mzeno of Komukomu is most unusual in that he has combined it with the Msumeto, the 'advance' Mzeno, with the 'retreat' Mtsumeto. It was composed in 1948. The melodies or counter subjects sung by the dancers are particularly pleasing and illustrate the wide musical potential of this form of passcaglia. The change from Mzeno to Mtsumeto occurs at 3m. 59s. from the start of the item. Komukomu was never afraid of innovations, and this was one of them. The fact that it did not last long and he reverted to the more usual form of separate Mzeno and Mtsumeto would indicate that it was not considered altogether satisfactory as a device. This item was recorded at the neighbouring village of Mavila. Two movements of orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This song is known over the whole lenght and breadth of the Karanga country.

These two Ngoni tribes from Zululand met on the Mtilikwe River and decided to keep to their on side of the river raiding the villages on either hand. "Kuwerure" they cry, when two sides meet in battle. Fighting song.

  • Description: Chaminuka is the name given to a whole line of religious prophets who for many generations led the spiritual life and thoughts of the Karanga people. One of the Chaminuka prophets is said to have smitten the waters of the Zambezi so that the river parted. The Karanga people came over dry foot. His soul, they say, first flew across the river in the form of a dove. Towards the end of the song, the singer breaks into the local patois, representing a conversation between him and a 'Mujoni'. a policeman on a horse. Humorous song with Njari (Mbira).

  • Description: Komukomu started this attractive melody very quickly while a few members of the orchestra interpolated occasional notes. When we recorded this item they played rather more loudly than before and lost something of the charm of this solo performance. As the road to Regulo Banguza's village was at the time impassable, Komukomu and his musicians walked over to Mavila's village with their instruments for this recording, a distance of about six miles. The drift across the river was temporarily out of use on account of recent floods. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 4 players (-14.52102-).

  • Description: An unusual musical bow on account of the use of a bridge ith which to divide the string into two segements and convey the sound direct to a small drum like resonator attached to the bow near its center. This simple little bow is played with an ox-tail bow near the point of stress. A thin stick is inserted between the gourd's membrane and the wire, conveying the sound down to the resonator and also dividing the single string into two unequal segments. The player stops the shorter of the two, thus producing the fundamental note on the longer segment and two or three notes on the shorter. It is perhaps strange to think that this product could prove entertaining and satisfactory to the performer. Self delectative song, with Chimwanikoda bowed musical bow, braced.
