Description: These long armed lyres are played flat with the bowl resting on the legs or ground and the arms extending away from the players. The left hand plays the four lower notes, the right the higher three. The Luhengele is played with two pairs of double sticks, and is an inverted bowl of platter. The song recalls the bravery of Kaloi who encouraged his fellow soilders in the fight even though he himself was wounded and lying on one hip.
