  • Description: The fishermen haul in their nets onto the shore and call to each other instructions and encoragement. Lake Victoria is called Nyanja by the Haya people. "Open the door and let me out, I want to go to the village beyond." The singing of the fishermen as they go fishing out on the lake at night is a feature of the district. Their voices can be heard for miles across the quiet waters of the lake in behind the islands which protect their bay. They used a drum, they said, to help their singing as normally they would beat the gunwale of their canoe with the paddles. Fishing song, with conical laced drum beaten with sticks and clapping.

  • Description: A song congratulating the Chief Fundikira on his method of stopping thieving in the country. He made wide areas collectively responsible for finding the thief. Thieving had become so bad, both from houses and from standing crops, that it called for drastic treatment. It appears that in the end all persons who had in the past been convicted of theiving were collected together and warned by the chief that every time there was a burglary they would all have to come to his headquaters and account for themselves. The sonstant journeys to the chief which this entailed had its effect and the known thieves volunteered to end the crime wave. This they did effectively and thus Chief Fundikira proved the virtue of the saying "Set a thief to catch a thief." Topical song, with 3 conical drums, 2 played with sticks and 1 with hands.
