- Description: The low roaring sound towards the end is produced by the lips and cheeks of the women and is not produced in the throat, (as the Xhosa do). The women usually used a gourd when making this sound, holding their mouths into the orifice of the gourd. They appear to blow through their pursed lips first on one side and then on the other, alternately. No gourds were used on this occasion. This item which was recorded at the Wankie Colliery several hundred miles from the district of origin of the performers, appears to have been influenced by foreign mission techniques, especially in the correct iambic stress at the end of lines.

- Description: The drums are not the normal drums used in Ruanda (Rwanda) but substitutes. The timekeeper was playing on the same head as the leader which is not correct, in the villages each man having his own drum. The click of sticks can consequently be heard as they strike each other. The players were a small informal group of Hutu miners over 600 miles from home working at the Kolwezi Copper Mine. Yet home style drumming was their particular joy and constant recreation. At approximately 3 minutes, they appear to change to the Urukina tatoo. This tatoo underlines again the fundamental difference of apprach to drumming between the Hima and the Bantu. Although the Hutu speak a Bantu language and are originally of Bantu descent there is widespread intermarriage between them and the Hima overlords, the Tutsi, and the Hima attitude to music and drumming appears to have persisted. Three drum rhythms, three laced conical drums
