Ndiri (1st recording)

- Albert Lokwa na Jarimo, Hugh Tracey

Authors: Albert Lokwa na Jarimo , Hugh Tracey
Date: 1952
Subjects: Folk songs, Zande , Alur (African people) , Swahili-speaking peoples , Folk music , Field recordings , Africa, Sub-Saharan , Africa Democratic Republic of Congo Mahagi f-cg
Language: Zande/Vongara
Type: sound recordings , field recordings , sound recording-musical
Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/168046 , vital:41534 , International Library of African Music, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa , TR0124-06
Description: The instruments played by the Alur are typical of the Congo family of Likembe, or box Mbira. The Alur are one of the great Luo groups of tribes and are found both in Uganda and North East Congo. These two Likembe are an octave apart and sound very well played together, though the singing in the first song is crude in comparison with the delicacy of the accompaniment. The song 'Ndiri' with its brilliant accompaniment was so striking that I recorded it a second time to see what variations the players would employ. Both editions are reproduced on this disc for close comparision. The treble Likembe is called Natine and the bass Minu an octave lower. Topical song with Likembe and a struck stick.

Description: This is an attempt either to transpose a well known guitar song to the traditional instrument of the district or is the original folk tune itself. The sanzo ababo has a very wide bridge, 8 and half inches, possibly the widest of all the Mbira family. The notes do not take up all this space as a large gap of about 2" is left between the notes played by each hand, Nos. 1-11 and 12-22. Duet on the Likembe, (Mbira) - Sanzo apido (treble) x 20 notes, and Sanzo ababo (bass) x 22 notes.
