  • Description: "I had a friend but the high God has taken him away." The pauses in the music are caused by the necessity of having to apply spittle to the bow. The fingering of the single string is done by the inside of the 2nd segment of the fingers of the left hand and not by the tips of the fingers. The open string was tuned to 182 vs. The string was made of twisted Wazi bark, it had a small friction pad of Ilala palm leaf (koko) wound onto where the reed bow (uta) was applied to the string. A loop of bark string was used near the Mtowo peg for fine tuning straining the string downwards the Mpini neck. The goat skin membrane was pinned onto a carved wooden bowl with a sound hole cut into its side. Lament, with 1 stringed Karigo lute

  • Description: Played with 4 notes. The notes were roughly hewn pieces of wood laid across the thighs ans played by means of sticks. In this case, the player stood behind the back of the young man on whose thighs the notes were played and beat the notes bending forward over his shoulders. The man acting as xylophone stand sat on a stool with his feet on another stool. Beneath his thighs was a large pot used as simple external resonator. The instrument is played out in the fields when preparing the winter gardens in May. Once the gardens are planted, the xylophone notes are discarded and used as fire wood, new ones being cut each year. The position of the loose notes was changed with each change of tune to facilitate the playing of the item. The pause during the 3rd recording was caused by one of the notes rolling down the boys's thigh and having to be replaced. Self-delectative song with Chikirekore loose note xylophone x 4 notes, pot resonated.
