With African genius for converting what is normally a drudgery into a game, these Tonga made barrack square drilling into a form of enjoyable dance, with opportunities for all to shine in the grace of their movements. The instruments of the mirliton buzzers so that anyone who can sing a Tonga tune can equally well participate in the Malipenga band. Short gourds or horns are used for the higher pitched voices and longer for the bases. 4 Movements of the Malipenga dance, the first 2 with Chandi and Muganda drums, with 12 singing horns (calabash), 1 bass drum.
