- Description: "My daughter's hut is thatched with reeds and the bushy tails of cows." The song has ten verses, the first three repeated. The accent or stress on the ultimate syllable instead of on the penultimate might indicate mission influence in this song. Local linguists would be able to determine this point. Dance song, Njama for old men.

- Description: "I truly love you. You have pale hands like a European." The singer uses his lute as a rhythmic rather than a melodic instrument. His voice appears to be pitched well above the instrument. His voice appears to be pitched well above the two basic notes of his lute, but the interval may bear some constant relationship which is not discernable to a foreign ear at first hearing. On the other hand the lute may be considered as a two note 'drone' to the melody. It will be noticed that the pitch of his lute slightly lower in this and the next song "Musenga." Love song, with Mbebe, one string, bowed lute.
