- Description: The old singer is a great favourite in the district, the local Zande enjoying his songs of historical flavour. "Zilo went to the Chief to plead forgiveness for his son. The Chief forgave him on condition that he troubled the people no more and became the Chief's servant." The membrane of the harp is made of the ear of an elephant, laced onto the instrument. The Zande have a wild military past and ruled a large tract of country along both sides of the Congo-Sudan border. Topical song with vertical, angular, kundi harp, 5 strings and hand clapping.

- Description: Chemirocha the mystical singer, 9based on Jimmy Rodgers the American guitarist) is at Kericho, they say. 'Why'. He is said to have visited a friend of his at Ituna! The similarity of the two instruments, the guitar and the local lyre has given rise to the legend of this wandering player whose records have been heard but whose presence is a mystery. The young men having sung this version of Chemirocha said that it was really their sisters' song, but they were too shy to sing it. Eventually the girls were persuaded to sing and gave us the next version.
