- A song typical of most funeral songs by Luba women, with a cheerful theme assisted by the strange sound of the singing horns. The three drums were called respectively:- DITUMBA weighted with wax, with a mirliton, (lutanda). GATUMBATUMBA which was neither weighted nor had a mirliton. MUTUMBI weighted with wax but without miriliton. The singing gourds were the usual empty gourds commonly used by Luba women. Funeral dance song, with 3 goblet drums, closed, pinned, with mirliton, and 2 singing gourds
