  • Description: This Msitso, orchestral introductions to the Ngodo dance are fine examples of the classical style of starting the performance. Each Msitso is composed as pure music without a lyric base and Komukomu who dies in 1962 was a master of his craft, both as leader of his orchestra and a composer for over 30 years (See "Chopi Musicians" page 39). "Mahungwa a Filipe". The full text of the lyric and translation are on Pages 40 to 42 of "Chopi Musicians." For lack of his dancers to sing the lyric, Komukomu, who never pretended to having a voice, had to sing the words himself. Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.
