Description: Reed pipe dances are popular in Southern Africa, the instruments usually being single-noted, one man - one note. Kirby has described those of the Hottentots, Bushmen, Tswana, Venda, N. Sotho and Ndebele1 , and this has been confirmed, for the Venda, by Blacking2, and for the Tswana by Ballantine3• Others are the chimveka boy's dance of the Chopi of southern Mozambique, and the I!Jele dance of the valley Tonga of southern Zambia. Some of the panpipe ensembles known ~re the ngororombe of the Tonga, and the tryere of some of the Shona, of Rhodesia, the mishiba of the Luba/Songe of the Congo, and also, exceeding all these in complexity of musical organisation and richness of sound, the magnificent '!'}anga pan pipe ensembles of the Nyungwe people of the region around Tete, on the Zambezi river in Mozambique.
