At this time a number of them had been improvised from oil drums, 44 gallon and 8 gallon metal containers. The chief drummer is called-Umwiiro mukuru. The second drummer is called-Uwaura. The timekeeper drummer is called-Ishakwe. The beaters of drum sticks are called-Murisho (s), Imirisho (pl.). The names of the are from treble to bass. Lead drum-(in this case a small bucket drum)-Ishako. 1st drum-Nyahura, 2nd drum-Nterero, 3rd drum-Irubi, 4th drum-Luvugamahame, 5th drum-Chihumurizo. The leader plays his own drum and sometimes the three also on either side of him (4 all told) when setting a rhythm. His second in command also plays his own drum and sometimes one on either side (3 in all). The time setter stands out in front of the line and keeps the time going. This recording was made near a plantation of tall eucalyptus (blue gum) trees and the diffused echo from the boughs and leaves overhead can be clearly heard throughout.

So whilst I was singing to all these people my relatives came to my help and my enemies spell-bound by my singing were taken unawares and thus I escaped. Legend.
