- Description: "So many people have been born, so many people have died. Now all my folk are finished. So who will keep me company when I die?" This song with its antiphonal call and answer is typical of the style of the majority of folk songs of the Chokwe heard on the mines. This kind of performance is most difficult to record effectively for several reasons. Chianda dance song woth Sangu rattles, leg rattles held in the hand and gourds on sticks

- Description: This is a dance peformed at feasts of rejoicing such as the majority of a man on taking over from his dead father, or at the maturity of a girl. The recording was made at the Museum at Livingstone where the performers were engaged as full time musicians to play for the museum visitors. (See also TR67-10). The 'slit drum' was cracked and did not emit the usual clear tone of these gongs. The order of appearance od each instrument is as follows:- The tall conical drum starts: then at 10 seconds the slit drum or gong; at 23 seconds the xylophone; at 37 seconds the friction drum. At the end of the recording at 2m. 37 seconds, the friction drum plays alone. Siyemboka dance with Kajakiri conical drum, Singubu rectangular skit drum, Namalwa friction drum and Silimba xylophone

- Description: The friction drum is a simple membrane drum with the lower end open. A stick is pierced through a hole in the centre of the membrane and hangs inside the body of the drum being suitably attached to the membrane by small cross pieces pierced through the stick itself. The player usually sits on the ground with the drum resting on his legs, the open end towards his body. Having moistered his hands (or sometimes a cloth) with water he sets the membrane in vibration by the friction of his hands pulling the stick downwards towards him. In this way a roaring sound is made and rhythms produced by alternating the stroke between the two hands. It is essential to keep the two hands wet, water having the same effect as resin on a violin bow. Drinking song with 1 Pwita friction drum and percussion

- Description: The rhythm was tapped out on the body of the Likembe by a friend with a pen knife, the same tapping rhythm that is found from Angola across the continet to the Indian ocean. Luvale players often sit on a log or stool, lean over and play their instrument low down near the ground with obe arm coming from behind one leg and the other in front. A friend takes any convenient stick or piece of metal and taps out the inevitable rhythm on the body of the instrument itself avoiding the players thumbs which are plucking the tips of the reeds. Topical song with Likembe Mbira, with 8 notes above box and a knife
