- Description
- The Lamba country is virtually the heavily wooded district along the course of the upper Kafue river, where all the Northern Rhodesian copper belt mines are situated. The 3 drums were made from steel oil drums of different sizes from 4 gallons to 20 gallons. Their heavy reverberation made it almost impossible to record them effectively with the singers. Each drummer played his own rhythm which in 2 cases included blows on the side of the drum as well as on the membrane. Although double-headed, they were stood up on end for the performance, only one membrane being struck. Kalela dance song with 3 bass drums, cylindrical, laced, 2 wooden beaters each, double-headed.
