- Description: The Ugubu was a popular instrument with the Zulu of Natal several generations ago but few are now left in Natal. With the exception of one or two minor details this instrument is in the same as that of the Zulu. The chief modification is the use of a straining bridge to increase the tension of the bark string. This bow was made of a lenght of Tete reed 5 ft. 2 1/4 inches long and about 1 1/4 ins. diameter, and had an unusual method of straining the single string. There was a small bridge inserted between the reed and the string near the lower end and the resonating gourd was attached by means of a wore which also acted as a moveable tuning device dividing the string into two segements. The top segement was 3 ft. 10 ins. long and emitted a note of 71 vs. (81 vs. when stopped by clasping between the finger and thumb). The lower segment was not used. The interval between the two notes used is 220 cents. Self delectative song with Ugubu, musical bow, stressed and resonated

- Description: It is significant that an Ndau man from the South East of Southern Rhodesian on hearing these songs claimed that the style of singing and the sound of the words were very like his own. It is believed that the five related tribes of Southern Rhodesia, now called Shona a common Hima strain from the north, and may well indicate a link with the legend of the Hima Bachwezi, who, the Rundi and Tutsi maintain, came down with them from the north but did not stay and went on south. The features of the singers showed a strong Hamite strain although clearly semi-Bantu. The fourth song has unusally clever little melody. These people come from the border of Rundi-Urundi (Rwanda) in Ngala district. Topical song, with clapping
