He wanted all the people to know what a good friend he was. The intrusion of the foreign instrument, the accordion has undoubtedly modified the original folk idiom but to what extent it has affected the style of song is not yet known.

  • Description: "Come here and I will give you more land. The Chief is pleased with the work of his headman." Four men and women were playing the one drum, each beating out his own rhythm on his quater of the membrane. Strangely enough this did not deaden the sound as one might have expected. Before the drum maker closes up his laced drum he places a small stone inside. This they call 'Moyo wengoma,' the drum's heart. It does not serve any musical purpose but is found in every drum in the region. Marunda dance song for men and women with 1 conical, laced drum.

  • Description: This is the Njari version of the famous "Ilanga la Shona" which became so popular when first sung in Bulawayo in about 1946. Several versions in different languages have appeared since then. The original was sung to the guitar and this setting to the traditional instrument is particularly interesting. The Karanga or 'Shona', as opposed to the Nguni speaking Ndebele of the South west of the country, do not use the letter 'L' but change it to 'R'. Topical song ith Njari (Mbira).
