- Description: "We have taken great pains to come here and sing. Look here my lad, you must do as you are told." The shaking of their heads violently from side to side induces giddiness or an entranced state. Friends come to their assistance when they fall on the ground and force their heads between their knees to regain the circulation. The Malimba were large trough shaped zithers, 3' 10" long supported at either end by two large gourds upon which they were held. Owing to the lowness of the notes they produced, the sound of the drums drowned them. But the three players shook their long strings of red ochred hair in most ecstatic style as they played and sang. The Zithers were tuned as follows:-103, 90, 84, 76, 63 vs. Both 76 and 63 vs had two strings each. The strings are plucked about 4 inches from one end. The spectators crowd around the small group of zither players and drummers, who sitting on the ground or standing holding their hour glass drums between their knees, jump and shake their long locks as if they were possessed. They say several hours of this performance frequently gives the performers a kind of involuntary hysteria which takes time to calm. The drums appear to be played out of tune with the rest of the performance. Topical song with 2 hour glass drums (-14.31201-), 3 Malimba trough zithers (-10.3515-), Ndwala bells (-12.55-), flat tin rattles(-12.54-).

- Description: "Let us play the Zeze lute so that we can remember our old songs. Do not sing in a hurry. Take your time. We, the Gogo are singing in Tanganyika the land of our birth. Why do people sing all my tunes?" A lovely slow chant in which all the people joined, men, women and chidldren. It is clear that the Gogo are a poetic people with great lyrical ability. The local composer comes forward and starts each line for the people to follow. The song was recorded out in the open in the village of Mvumi without reharsal of any kind. It seems likely that it could have continued almost indefinitely, but the exigencies of the recording apparatus and the fact that it was taken before the advent of long playing records made abbreviation necessary. The unexpected loud passages were unfortunately slightly over modulated but, with the technical faults except this recording gives a fair idea of the artistic ca[abilities of these remarkable performers. The recording is in two parts, the second pitched lower than the first and accompanied by a flute obligato which has little if any direct bearing on the melody itself. Nindo praise song with Mulanzi flute in Part II.

- Description: "Let us play the Zeze lute so that we can remember our old songs. Do not sing in a hurry. Take your time. We, the Gogo are singing in Tanganyika the land of our birth. Why do people sing all my tunes?" A lovely slow chant in which all the people joined, men, women and chidldren. It is clear that the Gogo are a poetic people with great lyrical ability. The local composer comes forward and starts each line for the people to follow. The song was recorded out in the open in the village of Mvumi without reharsal of any kind. It seems likely that it could have continued almost indefinitely, but the exigencies of the recording apparatus and the fact that it was taken before the advent of long playing records made abbreviation necessary. The unexpected loud passages were unfortunately slightly over modulated but, with the technical faults except this recording gives a fair idea of the artistic ca[abilities of these remarkable performers. The recording is in two parts, the second pitched lower than the first and accompanied by a flute obligato which has little if any direct bearing on the melody itself. Nindo praise song with Mulanzi flute in Part II.
