- Description: In this case, the Ndano movement comes before Ngeniso which appears to be unusual. There were 16 dancers and they took their 'call' while away to one side.

- Description: Some of the best wood for making Timbila notes, grows in the district of this Chief, Regulo Canda. His orchestra, perhaps as a direct result, has been noted for its tone quality. His district includes part of the sea coast and is covered with thick bush with many cashew nut trees. It will be noted that the spelling of the titles of the movements changes with the dialect of the district. In the west it is 'Wemiso' while further east it is 'Mwemiso'. Four movements from the Ngodo xylophone orchestral dance of Regulo Canda with 10 to 19 xylophones and 1 or 2 rattles. (-12.54-).

- Description: "Talking, talking, just talking! Happily eating the food of the women! Tommorrow comes the trouble! Then you will not be able to recognise anybody there." The 'd' is implosive in the word Ndeko. The words of the lyric were not distinct as the dancers dancing in line opposite the timbila were too far away and too out of breath from their exhertions to make themselves heard. The words dictated to me by Shambini were as above. Orchestral dance with 6 Timbila, 4 Sanzhe, 1 Debiinda, 1 Gulu and 1 rattle.
