  • Description: The Busumbu phosphate mines employ many Europeans, Indians and Africans. But what phosphate is used for is a bit of a mystery to the native miners. It is of course, a most important fertiliser. What it will be used for , they sing, will be known. In the meanwhile labourers are many, Europeans, Indians and Africans. The tapping of the players heel on the ground can be heard throughout this recording. Usually the players of these lyres wear an anklet of metal iron bells on that leg. The Gisu cannot be said to be the best exponents of the lyre but they belong to the Nilotic tradition of playing. Topical song with seven string Litungu lyre and leg bells.

  • Description: The Kalimba, they say, is a comparatively new to this district and people. They have recently begun to learn it from the Nsenga at Fort Jameson where this player had gone to work on a Europen farm there in 1922. "You always call me 'dear' with your mouth, but what kind of 'dear' is this if you do not let me sleep with you?" This is a pleasnt little melody set against an appropriate accompaniment. The player's old voice does not do his own melody credit, as so often happens among folk singers, and it should be performed by a younger person to bring out its virtue. Love song with Kalimba Mbira (nine notes)
