Most players are content to use only the simplest chords and as few notes as possible regardless of the melody of the song which the instrument accompanies rhythmically. For the recording the man with his piece of iron and box had to be placed a considerable distance from the microphone. Mamboko dance with accordian and struck iron (-12.16-).

The distortions of Bantu speech tones appear to be less pronounced than in similar adaptations of local words to European tunes. The Nyamwezi peoples were for centuries closely associated with Arab traders and were the carriers of their trade goods into the interior from Bagamoyo on the coast to the lake at Ujiji. They also acted as carriers for most of the famous East African explorers including Livingstone and Stanely. Love song, with one Udi, Arab guitar, one Mandoline and one Tambourine drum (-14.91-).

- Description: The instrument was re-tuned for this song at a slightly higher pitch than for some of his other songs. The singer is a member of the ruling house being an uncle of the present (1950) paramount chief of the Hehe tribe - Adam Sapi Mkwawa. The Ligombo is a long thin trough zither, 40 inches long with a large resonating gourd at the playing end which is cleverly attached to the body of the zither by means of a looped string over the trough and passed down through the base of the gourd. At that end of the loop there is a short stick which twists up the loop until it is taut. A skin washer with the hair side towards the gourd acts as a spring washer and prevents unwinding. Heroic song with Ligombo 6 string trough zither and rhythmic tapping.
