  • Description: The low roaring sound towards the end is produced by the lips and cheeks of the women and is not produced in the throat, (as the Xhosa do). The women usually used a gourd when making this sound, holding their mouths into the orifice of the gourd. They appear to blow through their pursed lips first on one side and then on the other, alternately. No gourds were used on this occasion. This item which was recorded at the Wankie Colliery several hundred miles from the district of origin of the performers, appears to have been influenced by foreign mission techniques, especially in the correct iambic stress at the end of lines.

  • Description: One drummer raised and lowered the pitch of his drum by pressing his left elbow on and off the membrane of the drum. This excellent item gives a good impression of the spirit of the Mambala dance, the attractive lift to the rhythm, the sure participation of the dancers and the clever drumming of the men. The tone value of the mirliton placed on the side of the closed drums is well illustrated. The Mambala is clearly an enjoyable dance. Mambala dance with 4 goblet drums, closed, pinned, weighted with mirlitons and hand beaten, pieces of wood struck together, metal bell used as rattle
