  • Description: The button accordian has recently (1952) made its appearance in this area and largely on account of its ease of playing and the great amount of sound emitted, it has become very popular as an accompanying instrument. Most players are content to use only the simplest chords and as few notes as possible regardless of the melody of the song which the instrument accompanies rhythmically. For the recording the man with his piece of iron and box had to be placed a considerable distance from the microphone. Mamboko dance with accordian and struck iron (-12.16-).

  • Description: The singer was a cycle repairer by trade, claimed to belong to the Njeudura age grade (his own age at the time being about 22 years in 1952). He, like other Kikuyu who buy these expensive accordians uses it as a noise maker rather than a melodic or harmonic accompaniment. As with the guitar players they rarely change key. This performance was remarkable for the understanding between the singer and his accompanist on the 'iron'. The song was deafening to observers nearby, but apparently enthralling to the performers. Kikuyu musicians appear to be able to tolerate an intensity of sound far beyond the normal, in fact bordering on the threshold of pain in the ears. For the recording the man with his piece of iron and box had to be placed a considerable distance from the microphone. Mamboko dance with accordian and struck iron (-12.16-).

  • Description: This drum tune is taken from a song about a simple country lad who wanted to go and work for the Kabaka (the native 'King' of Uganda) as his servant and yet to remain faithful to his obligations both to his family and his ancestral ties at home. The set of royal Entenga drums are kept and played in a separate courtyard of the Lubili palace. In this recording the separate parts are brought out one after the other. Each drummer plays his allotted drums from the treble player down to the deep bass player while the others continue to strike the side of their drums with their beaters. The first four men play 3 drums each. The fifth plays one drum, and the sixth plays the two deepest toned bass drums. Drum tune. Set of 15 tuned conical drums, laced, closed, single.

  • Description: The Soga, like the Ganda people, often keep their cattle indoors at night. The song refers to those who neglect their bulls and oxen by leaving them out in a Kraal where they are bitten by mosiquitoes. Bulls, they say, deserve to be treated as well as the other cattle. Topical song, with 8 Magwala gourd horns side blown, 2 laced conical drums (-14.51201-), 2 pinned, footed goblet drums (-14.51201-).
