- Description: This dance song reflects a local tragedy. There was a certain white man, popularly called 'Kawoko', a game warden in this district, they say, who had only one hand. There had been a recent campaign to shoot baboons (in 1949) which were destroying the fields. During the shooting, they allege, he missed the baboons but shot some of the men who were driving the baboons out of the bush. The African beaters also had guns and were shooting and some say it was their eratic shooting which caused the casualities. Three men died that day and Kawoko was blamed as he was in charge of the group. He left the district shortly afterwards.

- Description: "Men, rejoice and honour the flag of our King George!" This is the kind of African dance tune in which the qauntity of noise is more important than the quality of its production. The style of singing appears to be influenced by the songs usually taught in schools and cannot be said to be wholly indigenous in form. The women first sing and then circle around to the sound of the drums. They shake to and fro side to side, their fronts counter balancing their sterns in opposite motion. The comparative simplicity of the music and drumming indicates the subtle influence of school (foreign) music teaching. Kasodo dance song for women and girls with Barrel drum, double heade, laced, and a tin (-12.16-) and whistles (-11.515-)
