- The drums set the basic rhythm and the song is led by a woman who occassionally breaks off her song to call to her chorus who reply a set phrase and then continue with the song. It is intereting to note that the sticks, which are tapped together, produce the same basic rhythm as that produced on sticks or bottles from Southern Congo right across the continent to the east coast. It can be counted as follows:- ONE, TWO, THREE, one-two: (rest) ONE, TWO, One-two (rest). The Luvale come from the high ground near the source of the Zambeze.
