  • Description: This drum tune is taken from a song about a simple country lad who wanted to go and work for the Kabaka (the native 'King' of Uganda) as his servant and yet to remain faithful to his obligations both to his family and his ancestral ties at home. The set of royal Entenga drums are kept and played in a separate courtyard of the Lubili palace. In this recording the separate parts are brought out one after the other. Each drummer plays his allotted drums from the treble player down to the deep bass player while the others continue to strike the side of their drums with their beaters. The first four men play 3 drums each. The fifth plays one drum, and the sixth plays the two deepest toned bass drums. Drum tune. Set of 15 tuned conical drums, laced, closed, single.
