  • Description: "The son of Maqo ran away from the cotton planting. If you do not beleive me go and ask Maqo himself. I am the son of Ndanjana and my grandfather is Rice." The Portuguese authorities insisted upon the planting of a certain proportion of native fields with a cash crop such as cotton. This means that African males, who normally do not take part in agriculture, leaving it all to the women, were now forced to work in the fields to tend the cotton crops. Several young men went off in search of work elesewhere to avoid their obligations. The name Maqo is a relic from Zulu/Shangaan intrusion as there are no clicks in the local Ndau language. Topical song with mbira dza waNdau with bell, external resonator and 2 manuals.

  • Description: The drums are not the normal drums used in Ruanda (Rwanda) but substitutes. The timekeeper was playing on the same head as the leader which is not correct, in the villages each man having his own drum. The click of sticks can consequently be heard as they strike each other. The players were a small informal group of Hutu miners over 600 miles from home working at the Kolwezi Copper Mine. Yet home style drumming was their particular joy and constant recreation. At approximately 3 minutes, they appear to change to the Urukina tatoo. This tatoo underlines again the fundamental difference of apprach to drumming between the Hima and the Bantu. Although the Hutu speak a Bantu language and are originally of Bantu descent there is widespread intermarriage between them and the Hima overlords, the Tutsi, and the Hima attitude to music and drumming appears to have persisted. Three drum rhythms, three laced conical drums
