  • Description: Composed in 1943, 20 years before, this Mxeno is still played and loved all over Chopiland. It was recorded on this occasion under almost impossible conditions with a high wind and driving showers of rain. It was intended to demonstrate the singing rather than the Timbila playing which in fact was not very good. The words of this Mzeno, almost unaltered since it was first composed by Katini, appear in my book "Chopi Muscians" P24 and 25. It will be noticed that the present players and singers end the Mxeno on the last verse of the lyric without repaeating the first stanza as a coda, which Katini himself used to do. Each verse, by tradition, is repeated. The Timbila of the leader was not well strapped up, hence the rattle of the slats against the beaerers. Orchestral dance, with 15 Timbila xylophones and 4 Njele rattles.

  • Description: The Chief Tengani tells the story of the judgement of Solomon with a true story of his own of 1936, the year he was made chief. There was once a lorry which carried cotton. Now a certain man jumped onto the lorry without the knowledge of the driver. On going through the river the lorry stopped and the man fell off. The lorry backed and the man was run over and killed. But still the driver did not know he was there and it was only afterwards that the people found the body and brought it to the chief Tengani. Thay all say the driver was not to blame as he did not know the man was on his lorry or gave him permission. The case came before the District Commissioner who agreed with the chief. The people did not agree at the time but now they know the chief was right. "A Solomon come to judgement." Story (Ntana).

1. Mzeno and Mtsumeto

  • Authors: Komukomu waSimbi (Leader) , Tracey, Hugh
  • Date: 1949
  • Subjects: Folk music--Africa , Music--Mozambique , Folk songs, Chopi , Chopi (African people) , Field recordings , Africa, Sub-Saharan , Africa Mozambique Mavila f-mz

  • Description: This new Mzeno of Komukomu is most unusual in that he has combined it with the Msumeto, the 'advance' Mzeno, with the 'retreat' Mtsumeto. It was composed in 1948. The melodies or counter subjects sung by the dancers are particularly pleasing and illustrate the wide musical potential of this form of passcaglia. The change from Mzeno to Mtsumeto occurs at 3m. 59s. from the start of the item. Komukomu was never afraid of innovations, and this was one of them. The fact that it did not last long and he reverted to the more usual form of separate Mzeno and Mtsumeto would indicate that it was not considered altogether satisfactory as a device. This item was recorded at the neighbouring village of Mavila. Two movements of orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.
