  • Description: Many years ago the people of Bukoba tried to come to some agreement about making a paramount chief. The idea failed owing to the narrow loyality of the various peoples of their own minor chiefs. Those who had proposed the amalgamation sang, "Leave the fools alone," resolving to carry out their intentions at some future date. The accent of the clapping falls on pulses 2, 5 and 7 in the 8 pulse measure. Topical song with conical laced drum and clapping.

The tuning of this deep bass zither is as follows:- 152, 136, 126. 118, 105, 101, 93 vs. The deep drawing in of breath of this old performer can be clearly heard throughout the recording. The trough zithers are like long bowls of wood with the strings stretched along over the hollow of the highest note downwards, the friction of the string caught in slits at either end of the trough is enough to retain the tuning for quite a while before returning is necessary. The structure if the phrasing of the accompaniment can be well observed in this recording. Praise song for chief with Nanga trough zither, 7 notes.
