  • Description: This is the first Chopi Ngodo ever recorded and published. It is described in my book "Chopi Muscians" Oxford University Press. The recordings were taken on glass based acetate discs in November 1943 and copied onto tape in October 1963. With the exception of a few verses omitted from one or two of the lyrics this version, performed away from home in the broadcasting studios of SABC Durban, Natal, is the same as a village performance but without the dancers. The players themselves sang all the words which are normally sung by the dancers. As there were no dance routines to be completed during the performance, each item is rather shorter than it would have been in the home village. With these minor exceptions the Ngodo is the complete work; all of it the composition of its leader Katini, a leading figure in Chopi music for 40 years. He died in 1948 about 60 years old. Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This Msitso, orchestral introductions to the Ngodo dance are fine examples of the classical style of starting the performance. Each Msitso is composed as pure music without a lyric base and Komukomu who dies in 1962 was a master of his craft, both as leader of his orchestra and a composer for over 30 years (See "Chopi Musicians" page 39). "Hingane malala". Full text and translation are on pages 47 and 51 of "Chopi Musicians. Owing to the shortage of acetate discs in South Africa during the 1939-45 war, this Ngodo was not recorded in full. Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.
