  • Description: Lambo Diki Muchinga is the son and grandson of two famous Timbila makers in this district Muchinga, who died about 1945 and his son Ngilishi Muchina who, between them, have made most of the beautiful instruments of these two Migodo of Regulo Canda and Cabo Mtoti. By some strange oversight the fourth movement, the Ngeniso, entry of the dancers, was omitted, the leader going straight on his Mweniso. This error was not noticed until too late. It was caused perhaps by the fact that the dancers had already been dancing before our arrival since early morning and so were, so to speak, already on the dance floor. Orchestral dance with 22 Timbila xylophones - 6 Chilanzane (Treble), 5 Sange (Alto), 5 Doli (Tenor), 3 Debiinda (Bass), 3 Gulu (Double Bass).

  • Description: The fine Mzeno (inserted here for comparison) was recorded in the same village just 14 years earlier, and is a useful guide to any change of style during that period. For purposes of this recording, the verses were not repeated as is usual with Mzeno. This Mzeno of Chief Mahikete (Canda) is about the payment of poll tax and the wish of the people to escape payment by running along to Mnyokowela in the Panda district, as they did in the old days when fighting against Shangaans. But, alas today the white men are at Panda also, so it would be no good. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones orchestra
