- Description: The rhythm was tapped out by a knife on the Mbira. Sung in organum by 3 women and 3 men. The principal man in the group wagged his tongue whilst he mimed the movements of the dance, during the playback. This was his own peculiar contribution and not generally done. This is a typical and highly repetitive Luvale song demonstrating their distinctive manner of singing in organum. Farewell song, with Likembe Mbira 8 notes

- Description: "Joni Meka promised to marry Mary-and married her." The bottle rhythm so common in south central Africa opens this song set off against a cross rhythm on the piece of metal. The organum singing of the chorus, in antiphony with the leader is unmistakeably Luvale in structure and tone. It is not a kind of music which tribes other than Luvale either appreciate or imitates. Gachacha dance song with struck bottle, 2 pieces of metal and 1 small bell. (bicycle).

- Description: The friction drum is a simple membrane drum with the lower end open. A stick is pierced through a hole in the centre of the membrane and hangs inside the body of the drum being suitably attached to the membrane by small cross pieces pierced through the stick itself. The player usually sits on the ground with the drum resting on his legs, the open end towards his body. Having moistered his hands (or sometimes a cloth) with water he sets the membrane in vibration by the friction of his hands pulling the stick downwards towards him. In this way a roaring sound is made and rhythms produced by alternating the stroke between the two hands. It is essential to keep the two hands wet, water having the same effect as resin on a violin bow. Drinking song with 1 Pwita friction drum and percussion

Although there was only one woman in this group it was clear that they felt her part to be essential as they would not start the song until she arrived.

- Description: This was sung when the late Chief Nyakutolo died and his successor took his place. Although there was only one woman in this group it was clear that they felt her part to be essential as they would not start the song until she arrived. The form of Luvale singing is complex and to an outsider at first appears disjointed but in fact it is well organised and the responses understood and followed by all the people without difficulty. Song at the succession of a Chief, with Chisanzhi bamboo tongued Mbira, 2 struck sticks, bottle and small bell
