- Description: "He is weeping for his palm trees which have been taken by others, although he planted them, it as a punishment for what he has done." An unusual kind of song no doubt overlooked on account of the Timbila music. All the people standing around began to join with the song as it was clearly well known. The player had equipped himself with a couple of sprigs of shrub with about half a dozen long and slender dry seed pods. This he used as a gentle rattle for accompaniment. It was the first of its kind I had seen. Lament with Seed Pod rattle.

- Description: A group of about 40 young women and girls joined the Ngodo for this movement, standing behind the dancers in order to take part in the singing. They knew all the words of the lyric by heart even the smallest of them and sang lustily with harsh voices. This development (if it is such) was never seen by me in any Mzeno in the 1940's. The result is no improvement upon the men's voices alone as a song, but was enjoyed by the whole village. Orchestral dance with 22 Timbila xylophones, 6 Chilanzane (Treble), 5 Sange (Alto), 5 Doli (Tenor), 3 Debiinda (Bass), 3 Gulu (Double Bass).
