- Description
- This is a dance peformed at feasts of rejoicing such as the majority of a man on taking over from his dead father, or at the maturity of a girl. The recording was made at the Museum at Livingstone where the performers were engaged as full time musicians to play for the museum visitors. (See also TR67-10). The 'slit drum' was cracked and did not emit the usual clear tone of these gongs. The order of appearance od each instrument is as follows:- The tall conical drum starts: then at 10 seconds the slit drum or gong; at 23 seconds the xylophone; at 37 seconds the friction drum. At the end of the recording at 2m. 37 seconds, the friction drum plays alone. Siyemboka dance with Kajakiri conical drum, Singubu rectangular skit drum, Namalwa friction drum and Silimba xylophone
