- Description: The mirliton of this instrument was broken. The scale may be Hexatonic. The Kalebwe clan are reported to have aggressive tendencies. A complex interplay of several rhythms with the Chisazhi acting as a gourd, although once the singers get going the sound of the instrument is lost. The clapping appears to follow the same basic rhythm found all over Southern Congo, in which a measure of sixteen pulses is accented as follows:- //1, 3, 5, 7, /, 10, 12, 14, , // or more usually // 1, 3, 5, 78, 10, 12, 14, 15, //. In this part of Africa the leader often starts and stops his men by the cry "A,,,r,r,r,r." Malemba song after funeral with Chisazhi Likembe

- Description: The mirliton of this instrument was broken. The scale may be Hexatonic. The Kalebwe clan are reported to have aggressive tendencies. A complex interplay of several rhythms with the Chisazhi acting as a gourd, although once the singers get going the sound of the instrument is lost. The clapping appears to follow the same basic rhythm found all over Southern Congo, in which a measure of sixteen pulses is accented as follows:- //1, 3, 5, 7, /, 10, 12, 14, , // or more usually // 1, 3, 5, 78, 10, 12, 14, 15, //. In this part of Africa the leader often starts and stops his men by the cry "A,,,r,r,r,r." Malemba song after funeral with Chisazhi Likembe

At the same time she pats the side of the gourd rhythmically with one hand or with a piece of stick or metal. The two gourds and rhythm appears to be:- //1, ; 3, 4, ; 6, 7, ,//. Funeral song with two singing gourd.
