- Description: This is the Njari version of the famous "Ilanga la Shona" which became so popular when first sung in Bulawayo in about 1946. Several versions in different languages have appeared since then. The original was sung to the guitar and this setting to the traditional instrument is particularly interesting. The Karanga or 'Shona', as opposed to the Nguni speaking Ndebele of the South west of the country, do not use the letter 'L' but change it to 'R'. Topical song ith Njari (Mbira).

- Description: Of all the multiple souls, or Mashawi, with which each man and woman is blest, the Masangano or Parental souls are the most important. Continuity of the tribe is with most people a central belief and conviction. With the Karanga this is crystalized in the ritual of Masongano and of the Midzimu -the immediate dead. The Masongano are in the path. Mother, let me step over it. You, woman, when you are pregnant you are in the firplace, of that I am sure. When you eat pumpkins you must be uncomfortably full! Fair skinned women are thoughtless. Early in the morning they get up and go to the fireplace outside, you men. Short women are alert, and if I was asked about Zinembgwa, I would say it is a mature girl who cannot make fire. Leave your husband and let us dance. Anything that happens we will account for. What I have said is very little. Not enough to make you leave home! If women were eaten like meat, I would chose the rump steak. The rest of it I would throw to the dogs. Song for Mashawi souls with Njari (Mbira).
