  • Description: Two pairs, of small girls who had previously danced the "Chingomane" danced in front of the line of dancers during the "Mabadlha". This appears to be an inovation of recent times. During this long movement the dancers perform their pas de deux and the music must continue until all have had their turn. Afterwards the song is sung in the background to end the movement. "The way you are living is because you are clever. To be chief you must not get drunk or you will weep when your chieftanship disappears. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double bass).

  • Description: The first Msitso was the composition of the distinguished and talented muscian, Komukomu, who died at Banguza over a year ago, but who recorded for me on several occasions and led the combined orchestra of Timbila to Bulawayo and Salisbury in Southern Rhodesia as well as on many other important occassions. His was one of the great names in Chopi music and an honoured composer over the last 20 years or more. His Timbila orchestra at Filipi Banguza's village has not yet settled down to a new leader after his death. Orchestral introductions with 16 Timbila xylophones, 1 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), and 4 Njele rattles.

  • Description: A line of young girls including those who had danced their "Chingomani" dance during the morning moved up to the orchestra behind the line of men when they moved forward. This very short Msumetso was by way of being a skit on the impression left upon them by Portuguese music and military words of command, the dancers performing various typical actions of soilders being drilled with Kutokozela cries. The retreat, with preliminary cries. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 2 Doli (Tenor), 2 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass) and 4 Njele rattles.

  • Description: It will be noticed that in a Ngodo which has been composed by a number of players the style varies between movements as with the present Ngodo of Zandamela. The advent of a dominating musical personality, such as Katini of Zavala, or Komukomu of Banguza, improves the whole situation. The music takes on a more defined shape. This year 1963 finds the Chopi temporarily short of front rank composers and players. "Listen all you people of Zandamela to hear about the law." Orchestral dance with 14 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 1 Doli (Tenor), 1 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass).
