  • Description: "My love Marrite has been taken away. I will send my friend Morani to fetch her. Morani will go to the mission by night." The fine Marrite dance was started by Marrite who dances better than her father. "Show me the way to the court, so that I may report the man who stole my Marrite." These Meru people are among the most handsome in Africa and were a brave sight in their beautiful costumes with their bright beads, their six foot long spears and pastel coloured shields. The setting, upon the slopes of Mount Meru was also exhilarating in a green sward set among the large forest trees. Marrite dance song for men and women.

  • Description: "Everyone despises me because I make love to ugly women." The leader was dressed up in his dancing kit, with feather head dress, red ochre on the face and rag dress. The singers were workers on the Mwadui diamond mines, recruited locally. The song features a character whom they call Sajeni Meja (Sergeant Major) no doubt on account of the fact that several of them served for a while in the K.A.R., the Kings' African Rifles. During the singing they call out the familiar cry used by the soilders of the King's African Rifles. The moral problems of the disintegrated family and tribal life present themselves at every turn and especially in the towns or industrial areas where large bodies of men are attracted to work. Hiyari ya moyo dance song for men and women, with metal cylindrical drum, and conical pegged drum and bells.

  • Description: A song for entertaining the chief. The title of this song has persisted for generations, each no doubt setting its own topical words to the traditional air. This in turn has no doubt suffered many a change in the course of time but is still Nheura for all that. The yodelling by Shona musicians in Southern Rhodesia is a distictive characteristic of their music and is similar to the yodelling of the Mambuti pygmies of North East Congo and the Turi forest. Chabarwa is a Njanja from the Charter district where about 1750 A.D. a certain Portuguese mulatto trader married the chief's daughter and took the Mitupo or clan name of Sinyoro (Senhor) which has been handed down to his male descendants since that date. Leave your husband and let us dance. What I have said is very little. But not enough to leave your husband behind in the house. The dream of Hobe's wife is true, she dreamed about a wagon. It has come, you men. Tall men are lucky, even when they kneel down they are still big. You can do it too. You women, I will start. The children of today are wocked. They only learn to be 'wasters'. We will marry the children of the Zinjanja. There are women who wear skin aprons. But the cost of dresses spoil the country. Who have you come with? Four will come in and the fifth I will go with. Topical song sung for the entertainment of Chiefs, with Njari dza Manjanja (Mbira).
