  • Description: A dance for festive occasions. The Buudu is a Bantu tribe which has moved across westwards from the Rwenzori mountains about 300 miles to the present locality. They are unusually dark skinned for Bantu and use a variety of musical instruments, relying mostly on slit drums for their dance music. Slit drums are common because large timber is plentiful but cattle or antelope skins rare for the making of membranes. The membranes of their conical drums are therefore usually made from elephant ears. Party dance with two conical drums, snall slit drum, two pod drums, ivory horn, basket rattles and two metal hand bells.

  • Description: The Zande are a Sudanic people and are found along the north eastern border of the Congo and Southern Sudan. They are an active military tribe with great influence and power in the whole of this area, their young men being noted for their bravery. This tune set to a topical song is in the common Zande dance measure and a Zande audience hearing it would be likely to start their attractive dance action in spite of the accompanying instrument being a Likembe and not a xylophone which is commonly used for dancing on account of its greater volume of sound. The player tuned up his instrument begining with the tone centre 440 vs. The order of notes from left to right was:- 880, 648, 488, 360, 244, 220, 180, 324, 440, 584, 720, 292 vs. Topical song with 2 Ekembe, 12 note Likembe Mbiras.
