  • Description: It was explained that this song is sung "When we go out hunting for five days." In Northern Rhodesia especially, axe blades are often used as an accompaniment to song. This single blade is not however a good example. Men will knock the triangular blades out of their handles and tap them rhythmically. This particularly effective when a number of blades are used each producing its distinctive oitch of note which serves to accentuate the pattern of the crossed rhythm which are tapped out. The choice of harmonic intervals in this song is interesting. Hunting song, with two pieces of metal (1 axe blade)
