Description: Performers such as these on the lute and lyres are in great demand in Uganda where they still fulfill an important function as dispensers of news and opinions. Most important matters of public concern will find their way into such songs and thus help crystalise public opinion. The efficient musician and composer is thus an integral part of the social scheme in Uganda. Drinking song with Endongo lyre (Bowl lyre), 2 Ndingidi lutes (bow stringed instrument) (-10.54-), 1 large conical laced drum (-14.22301-).

Description: The singers of these popular Ganda songs are so greatly in demand and sing for such long hours at a time that hardly one of them has any quality left in his voice except a croak. The harsh quality of the voices is a typical characteristic of such songs. The quality of the drum playing can be distinctly heard at the end of the recording. Topical song, with Endongo lyre, 2 Ndingidi lutes and large conical, laced, headed drum.
