- Description: It will be noticed that in a Ngodo which has been composed by a number of players the style varies between movements as with the present Ngodo of Zandamela. The advent of a dominating musical personality, such as Katini of Zavala, or Komukomu of Banguza, improves the whole situation. The music takes on a more defined shape. This year 1963 finds the Chopi temporarily short of front rank composers and players. "Listen all you people of Zandamela to hear about the law."
