If you want really good food, you must ask a chief's wife for it." He also says that quarrels between husband and wife are caused by two things, the wife's gossiping and her constant visits to her parents. The bow with its fundamental notes (produced by striking both the long and the short segments of the braced string) over an octave apart (nearly sixteen semitones) is used as a rhythmic ground to set against the swift patter of the song. Wistful song with musical bow, vertical, braced, round section.

- Description: The Mkwaju dance is popular, they say, amongst the more African element of this Swahili population which also shows a tendency towards Arabian and sometimes to Indian music. The population of the island is complex and consists of representatives of several East African tribes in addition to Arab, Indian and Shirazi peoples, and their offspring of mixed marriages. The effect in terms of musical performances is equally complex without unanimity, a phenomena found in other communities of mixed tribal and national marriages. The xylophone is being used as a rhythmic and not as a melodic bass. As the singers wander away from the pitch set by the instrument and pay little or no regard to it. From the style of singing it is suspected that the melody comes from the coastal regions further south from the Makua people of Mozambique - No confirmation of this suggestion could be obtained largely on account of the fact that the performers were second or third generation of mixed marriages on the island. Mkwaju dance song for men, with Marimba xylophone box rattle (-12.61-) and 2 friction sticks (-12.61-).

- Description: The Mkwaju dance is popular, they say, amongst the more African element of this Swahili population which also shows a tendency towards Arabian and sometimes to Indian music. The population of the island is complex and consists of representatives of several East African tribes in addition to Arab, Indian and Shirazi peoples, and their offspring of mixed marriages. The effect in terms of musical performances is equally complex without unanimity, a phenomena found in other communities of mixed tribal and national marriages. The xylophone is being used as a rhythmic and not as a melodic bass. As the singers wander away from the pitch set by the instrument and pay little or no regard to it. From the style of singing it is suspected that the melody comes from the coastal regions further south from the Makua people of Mozambique - No confirmation of this suggestion could be obtained largely on account of the fact that the performers were second or third generation of mixed marriages on the island. Mkwaju dance song for men, with Marimba xylophone box rattle (-12.61-) and 2 friction sticks (-12.61-).
