  • Description: This song shows an adaptation of Nyamwezi African words to an Arab foreign tune. The distortions of Bantu speech tones appear to be less pronounced than in similar adaptations of local words to European tunes. The Nyamwezi peoples were for centuries closely associated with Arab traders and were the carriers of their trade goods into the interior from Bagamoyo on the coast to the lake at Ujiji. They also acted as carriers for most of the famous East African explorers including Livingstone and Stanely. Love song, with one Udi, Arab guitar, one Mandoline and one Tambourine drum (-14.91-).

  • Description: "Although you frighten me with your stick, I will fight you when you are drunk." Mwanza is about the furthest limit of his geopraphical knowledge and he would therefore follow her to 'the ends of the earth'. It is the lake port at the south of the Lake Victoria about four hundred miles from Dar-es-Salaam where this item was composed and sung. The soloist, Idi, is a never ending source of enjoyment to his friends with a perfect set of mine gestures with which to illustrate the words he sings. Selemani's speech is a liberal mixture of Nyamwezi and Swahili. He leads these lively songs sung by a very lively company of Nyamwezi singers who bring out many surprises during their amusing performances. Humorous song with goblet drum, pegged and footed, unaccompanied.
