  • Description: The Busumbu phosphate mines employ many Europeans, Indians and Africans. But what phosphate is used for is a bit of a mystery to the native miners. It is of course, a most important fertiliser. What it will be used for , they sing, will be known. In the meanwhile labourers are many, Europeans, Indians and Africans. The tapping of the players heel on the ground can be heard throughout this recording. Usually the players of these lyres wear an anklet of metal iron bells on that leg. The Gisu cannot be said to be the best exponents of the lyre but they belong to the Nilotic tradition of playing. Topical song with seven string Litungu lyre and leg bells.

  • Description: The leader is well knon in Tabora as a cafe entertainer particularly for his humorous interjections - he starts by introducing himself by name. The record was made in a small room which serves as a club and opens out directly onto the street. The small xylophone was said to have come from the other side of Lake Tanganyika in the Congo from the Manyema people. Many members of Congo tribes have migrated into Tanganyika across the lake on account of the trade by the railway to coast used first by the Arabs and later by the railway to Dar-es-Salaam. The sons of these men who still claim to be tribesmen of the Congo were born in Tanganyika and speak and sing only in Swahili. The style is not local and perhaps originates in the Albertville region of Southern Congo. The tone of voice of these cafe singers is typical of those whose major payment is in kind, whic after a while blurs the edge of their voices and their performances. Humorous song, with Malimba xylophone x 8 and Basket rattle.
