Description: A group of about 40 young women and girls joined the Ngodo for this movement, standing behind the dancers in order to take part in the singing. They knew all the words of the lyric by heart even the smallest of them and sang lustily with harsh voices. This development (if it is such) was never seen by me in any Mzeno in the 1940's. The result is no improvement upon the men's voices alone as a song, but was enjoyed by the whole village. Orchestral dance with 22 Timbila xylophones, 6 Chilanzane (Treble), 5 Sange (Alto), 5 Doli (Tenor), 3 Debiinda (Bass), 3 Gulu (Double Bass).
