  • Description: Introduced by the 'Hino Nacional', the Portuguese national anthem. Women came out in pairs and danced opposite each other, each doing a violent dance du ventre. As soon as they are tired, their places would be taken by two others. The singing horns here are usually manufactured by a local tin smith from galvanised flat iron usually taken from old kerosine tins. One of the horns used was the horn of an old acoustic gramophone. The use of singing horns made of metal is a speciality of the GiTonga. They are played with very noisy drums and struck iron, and the result is deafening rather than musical. Party dance for men and women, with 1 brass drum Bombo, 1 small steel drum made from a bucket, 1 Chingomane flat iron, 4 Puundu singing horns, 1 rattle.

  • Description: There is a song first, then a declamation by Williamu Lebyane at 2m 30s with he Siyavuma responses followed by a short song again at 5m 10s. The shricking and general noise all contributes to the pleasureable hysteria associated with this kind of activity. "Makwidi (Bulbul) perch on the bird lime so I can catch you." Bird lime is made from the fruit of a certain tree parasite which is usually found on the marula tree. It is first rolled and masticated in the month and then rolled onto a twig. The Bulbul referred to is the one numbered R-544 in the Roberts 'Birds of South Africa' and is widely distributed throughout Southern Africa.

  • Description: The perfomer was his own rattle player holding the rattle in his right hand. He is typical of the casual entertainer who use two or three chords repeated endlessly on their topical allusions which nowadays pass for serious song making. They frequently advertise themsleves, constantly mentioning their own names during the course of the song or as an introduction, as in this case. Topical song with guitar and rattle.

  • Description: The Gulu was played with a rubber headed beater (like the Chopi 'Tikongo') and the hand. The two Daiero were played with a pair of light sticks. The style of dancing which has persisted among the GiTonga of the Inhambane region for many decades appears to be solely the dance du ventre, performed either by men or women in which almost every possible action of the pelvic region below the waist is employed with tedious repetition. It is doubtful whether teh dance music of the GiTonga would have any attractions for other local tribes. Dance (Dance du Ventre), with 4 singing horns, Puundu, 1 Bombo Gulu bass drum abd 2 Daiero drums.

  • Description: The name 'Bombo' is taken from the Portuguese for 'Bass Drum'. The Daiero drums were home made and joined together after the fashion of jazz 'Bongo' drums which they are intended to represent. The music played and sung by the drums and horns is supposed to be an imitation of jazz but would hardly be recognised as such by an outsider. The local GiTonga modality can be clearly heard in the pitch of their voices. Dance (Dance du Ventre), with 4 singing horns, Puundu, 1 Bombo Gulu bass drum abd 2 Daiero drums.

  • Description: Matwilu is a man whose wife has deserted him and the people, sympathising with him, suggest he takes another one. The personal problems of well known people in the community are frequently aired in this way, thus creating a certain public opinion and bringing pressure to bear upon individuals to conform to the local pattern of correct behaviour.

  • Description: The newly composed words of this Mdano are most interesting to anyone long familar with Chopi music. They demonstrate the constant vitality in Chopi musicians and dancers, which shows no sign of declining, a joy in this art form which is uniquely theirs. One great difficulty remains with the recorder; that of attempting to transcribe the Chopi words as sung. Orchestral dance with 14 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 1 Doli (Tenor), 1 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass).

Masane weeps tears, Ya, ya, la, la. Abinele and Silive, headman of Mavila, are both well. Come all of you, you people, come and hear the orders, the instructions how to plough, to get corn in your lands. Ya, la, la, la. We men are being turned into women.
