- Description: The instruments played by the Alur are typical of the Congo family of Likembe, or box Mbira. The Alur are one of the great Luo groups of tribes and are found both in Uganda and North East Congo. These two Likembe are an octave apart and sound very well played together, though the singing in the first song is crude in comparison with the delicacy of the accompaniment. The song 'Ndiri' with its brilliant accompaniment was so striking that I recorded it a second time to see what variations the players would employ. Both editions are reproduced on this disc for close comparision. The treble Likembe is called Natine and the bass Minu an octave lower. Topical song with Likembe and a struck stick.

Mwanza is about the furthest limit of his geopraphical knowledge and he would therefore follow her to 'the ends of the earth'. It is the lake port at the south of the Lake Victoria about four hundred miles from Dar-es-Salaam where this item was composed and sung. The soloist, Idi, is a never ending source of enjoyment to his friends with a perfect set of mine gestures with which to illustrate the words he sings. Selemani's speech is a liberal mixture of Nyamwezi and Swahili. He leads these lively songs sung by a very lively company of Nyamwezi singers who bring out many surprises during their amusing performances. Humorous song with goblet drum, pegged and footed, unaccompanied.
