They represent the affection for children on the part of both parents. The traditional instrument with which to honour the Masongano souls in this part of panpipes of which there are very few left. The player, a very old man holds the panpipes in one hand and a gourd rattle in the other. This brief recording of less than half a minute's duration may be one of the best echoes of a faith which believed in the virtue of the sound of the panpipes as a devotional exercise. Tune for the Songano Mashawi with Mikwati Wenyere (Pan pipes) and Hosho (rattke).
