  • Description: This lute is peculiar to the district. The stick which forms the neck of the lute is pierced right through the gourd body, protruding about 5" on the opposite side. The single string is attached to the tip of this end, passes over the membrane on the gourd and a bridge (which is also made from pieces of gourd and is attached by means of a short piece of wire to avoid losing it when the instrument is slackened off after playing) and is attached at the end to a short fork in the stick which effectively prevents slipping. It is played by means of a short bow with sisal fibre. Topical song with Mbebe string lute.

  • Description: A song of welcome to a friend. He also warns him not to drink "Enguli" or Nubian gin, which is distilled from 'Jagri', unrefined sugar still in the coagulated stage. 'Jagri' is the Hindustani word for this and the customers for this commodity at Indian stores have taken over the foreign word. This brilliant singer is well known in Buganda. The clarity both of his singing and playing on the harp is delightful. Song with horizontal, arched, 8 stringed harp.

  • Description: It appears that the Ganda, like the English, use a great number of euphemisms for the natural human functions.

The Chief himself, his ladies and the audience thoroughly approved the sentiment expressed by the singer. Topical song, with two conical drums and hand clapping, one drum 34" x 9", one 19" x 15 1/2".
