- Description: The players friend sat beside him with another Ekembe on which he played one note by way of a rhythmic accompaniment as the second instrument was not peoperly in tune, and so they could not be played together. This policeman, it appears, would insist upon any man he arrested dancing before him to the tune of his Ekembe on their way to the police station. No one thought this to be an imposition and in fact both policeman and offender enjoyed the performances. While the third song was being played a man in the crowd was actually arrested by another member of the African Police and marched off. Muzeze song with Ekembe 10 note Likembe.

- Description: Herdman's tune from the highlands on the eastern border of the Congo where the hills run alongside the great western rift opposite the Ruwenzori mountains. This remarkable player was somewhat 'simple' herdsman. He plays his flute all day to his cattle and has developed, they say, a distinct style of his own. He is inclined to hum while he plays and his voiced notes can be heard forming a celeste with those of the flute. The player was given a 'Highly commended' prize in the 1952 Osborn Awards for the best African musicians of the year. The first four tunes were copied frim discs in the Reference Library as the original tapes were not available. Nyamulera flute, 4 holed, notched.
