- Description: The Valley Tonga call it "clapping for rain." clapping being the local method of supplication. They could not say who or what Mukalanga might be. It may well refer to the second wife of the Monomotapa who was called. "Come clouds", they sky itself is "jube". Our informer, Chief Chiabi told us that his people had crossed the Zambezi river led by a famous man like the Karanga prophet Chaminuka. This man is said to have struck the waters and they divided. All the people, together with their flocks and herds crossed over over on the dry stones of the river bed. He eventually died under a certain baobab tree in a kind of trance state and ever since then the place has been set aside as a rain shine. Rain son with clapping.

- Description: Played with 4 notes. The notes were roughly hewn pieces of wood laid across the thighs ans played by means of sticks. In this case, the player stood behind the back of the young man on whose thighs the notes were played and beat the notes bending forward over his shoulders. The man acting as xylophone stand sat on a stool with his feet on another stool. Beneath his thighs was a large pot used as simple external resonator. The instrument is played out in the fields when preparing the winter gardens in May. Once the gardens are planted, the xylophone notes are discarded and used as fire wood, new ones being cut each year. The position of the loose notes was changed with each change of tune to facilitate the playing of the item. The pause during the 3rd recording was caused by one of the notes rolling down the boys's thigh and having to be replaced. Self-delectative song with Chikirekore loose note xylophone x 4 notes, pot resonated.
