- Description: Away from the Congo river itself it appears that the art of sending drum messages deteriorates into the sendng of signals only, the former being based upon the tonality of the individual words comprising the sentences transmitted, the latter comprising pre-set phrases and rhythms to which certain significance is attached. The signals may have risen from messages in the past but the skill of 'talking' on the drums has almost if not entirely vanished among the Mangbele. The significance ofthe 'Tamatsaro' signal was not explained. Drum rhythms or signals with 2 slit drums, 2 large pod shaped slit drums, 2 long cyclindrical drums.

- Description: "We are the Tipoyi carriers of the Chief." This song was performed by the tipoyi carriers of Chief Ebandrombi. In this heavily wooded country of central and north eastern Congo most of the Chiefs, notables and officials use the sedanchair as their principal means of transport along the narrow forest paths. This is an attractive melody reminiscent of melodies composed by the Bemba of Northern Rhodesia which are also characterized by singing in parallel thirds. Work song with basket rattle.
