  • Description: This is the Njari version of the famous "Ilanga la Shona" which became so popular when first sung in Bulawayo in about 1946. Several versions in different languages have appeared since then. The original was sung to the guitar and this setting to the traditional instrument is particularly interesting. The Karanga or 'Shona', as opposed to the Nguni speaking Ndebele of the South west of the country, do not use the letter 'L' but change it to 'R'. Topical song ith Njari (Mbira).

  • Description: Although the message drums of central and west Africa are unknown south of the Congo basin, young herd boys have long used a whistling language in which the tone of the phrases they wish to convet are whistled to each other at some distance, often at a safe distance on the other side of a river because much of what they whistle may be humorous or even disrespectful to the stronger or older of the small fry. The first part is a whistled conversation, usually done at some distance apart. The second part is a sample conversation in which the boys say the words that they had whistled to demonstrate the rise and fall of tone. Whistling conversation.
