Description: A song for entertaining the chief. The title of this song has persisted for generations, each no doubt setting its own topical words to the traditional air. This in turn has no doubt suffered many a change in the course of time but is still Nheura for all that. The yodelling by Shona musicians in Southern Rhodesia is a distictive characteristic of their music and is similar to the yodelling of the Mambuti pygmies of North East Congo and the Turi forest. Chabarwa is a Njanja from the Charter district where about 1750 A.D. a certain Portuguese mulatto trader married the chief's daughter and took the Mitupo or clan name of Sinyoro (Senhor) which has been handed down to his male descendants since that date. Leave your husband and let us dance. What I have said is very little. But not enough to leave your husband behind in the house. The dream of Hobe's wife is true, she dreamed about a wagon. It has come, you men. Tall men are lucky, even when they kneel down they are still big. You can do it too. You women, I will start. The children of today are wocked. They only learn to be 'wasters'. We will marry the children of the Zinjanja. There are women who wear skin aprons. But the cost of dresses spoil the country. Who have you come with? Four will come in and the fifth I will go with. Topical song sung for the entertainment of Chiefs, with Njari dza Manjanja (Mbira).

Description: The ritual connected with this Mazungu Shawi calls for a Red hat, and white, red and black cloth. You drink blood and white meal and wear Ndoro beads. In the hand you must hold a Gano, a cross. This 'Soul' appears to be associated with the earliest white men and the Catholic rutual of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when it was first introduced to their part of South eastern Africa. Mazungu was the name first given to the early Portuguese and later to all white men. "When you walk on the path, carry your child on the side, do not leave him on your back, there may be something behind you." Song for the Mazungu with 2 Njari Mbira, one with 33 notes and one with 31.

Description: A humorous song about a man and his friend who went to a party and the one man stole some meat that was hanging up in a tree. His friend accused him of stealing the meat but the other denied it. This is in reality a kind of improptu sketch set against the musical background with no direct relationship to the rhythm of the instruments. Humorous song.
