- Description
- This item is referred to in my book "Chopi Musicians." The lyric is printed on page 34 and the score with tablature and explanations on pages 161-173. This copy was made from an old recording on acetate disc, the only one available. It was to Durban from their homes in Zavala to demonstrate Timbila xylophone playing. Komukomu was both a brilliant player and a fine composer with a strong sense of melody. The descant played in this Mzeno is typical of his musicality. Orchestral dance with 5 Timbila xylophones.
