- Description: This "gnome-like"" music, so easily played and accompanied has swept into popularity since 1956. It has an immediate effect upon young Africans, especially those under twenty and perhaps even more so upon the under ten year olds. Mlembe is a native Swati name for this Havelock asbestos mine. Every tune on the whistle-flutes or penny whistles enjoys the mane of "special: a trick learnt from gramophone record titles. They all imitate other tunes in an urban/folk manner until there is no telling which tune came first, which is the original, and which is the imitation. Town dance with 2 guitars (-10.58-), 2 penny whistle-flutes.

- Description: This form of open string bow is common to the Nguni people and is held near the lower end of the bow which is held upright. This player stopped the string to obtain his higher note by pinching the string between his first finger and his thumb nail of the left hand, the right hand striking the bow about 10" - 12" from the node above his left hand. He produced a buzzing sound on the string by keeping his thumb nail close to the vibrating string. The closed note by contrast is clear. Topical song with Ligubu bow.
