Eventually the full chorus begins with a simple repeated refrain. The pauses in the drum rhythm mark the moment when one of the drummers throws up his drum into the air, catches it again betwenn his knees and continues the rhythm without losing tempo. It is a clever piece of showmanship and clearly enjoyed by the participators in the dance. Mambala dance song with 5 goblet drums, closed, pinned, weighted, with mirlitons, hand beaten and 1 double bell and basket rattle.

- Description: The item starts with the sound of the double bell and a weighted drum, follwed by the recitative statement by the leader. Eventually the full chorus begins with a simple repeated refrain. The pauses in the drum rhythm mark the moment when one of the drummers throws up his drum into the air, catches it again betwenn his knees and continues the rhythm without losing tempo. It is a clever piece of showmanship and clearly enjoyed by the participators in the dance. Mambala dance song with 5 goblet drums, closed, pinned, weighted, with mirlitons, hand beaten and 1 double bell and basket rattle.

- Description: The buzzing or nasalizing effect of the small mirliton membranes inserted into the side of the drums is clearly heard throughout this recording. The women who play the singing gourds hold their mouths just inside the orifice of their gourds and voice their notes with taught lips, using alternate sides of their mouth, as if they were lipping a trumpet or bugle. The cavity of the gourd thus resonates the sound produced. In addition, they slap the outside of their gourd rhythmically as they hold it between the palms of their hands. Wedding and ceremonial with 4 goblet drums, closed, pinned, weighted, with mirlitons. Quiet hand clapping (-12.05-) and 4 singing gourds. (-11.13-).

- Description: The scale of these two instruments is not clear from these examples. It would appear to be heptatonic in one case and hexatonic or even pentatonic in the order. The fact that an adequate number on intervals exist in the lower octave and are not complete in either, argues an ablity to think heptatonically. The scale was as follows;- 404, 344, 308, 296, 252, 236, 202, 180, 160, 118, 101, 90. Bitanda kakunda dance with two Chizanshi box mbira, 2 basket rattles, whistle and hand clapping.
