- Description: The mirliton of this instrument was broken. The scale may be Hexatonic. The Kalebwe clan are reported to have aggressive tendencies. A complex interplay of several rhythms with the Chisazhi acting as a gourd, although once the singers get going the sound of the instrument is lost. The clapping appears to follow the same basic rhythm found all over Southern Congo, in which a measure of sixteen pulses is accented as follows:- //1, 3, 5, 7, /, 10, 12, 14, , // or more usually // 1, 3, 5, 78, 10, 12, 14, 15, //. In this part of Africa the leader often starts and stops his men by the cry "A,,,r,r,r,r." Malemba song after funeral with Chisazhi Likembe

Joseph Kiwele nine years later became Minister of Education in Katanga under President Tshombe but died suddenly of a strokein 1962 after an outstanding musical career.
