  • Description: The Kalimba, they say, is a comparatively new to this district and people. They have recently begun to learn it from the Nsenga at Fort Jameson where this player had gone to work on a Europen farm there in 1922. "You always call me 'dear' with your mouth, but what kind of 'dear' is this if you do not let me sleep with you?" This is a pleasnt little melody set against an appropriate accompaniment. The player's old voice does not do his own melody credit, as so often happens among folk singers, and it should be performed by a younger person to bring out its virtue. Love song with Kalimba Mbira (nine notes)

  • Description: The 'struck iron' was an old starter ring from the fly wheel of a car. It is necessary to have a circular or 'S' shaped piece of metal for convnient playing of the double beat. The performer called it 'Kengere' or 'Beru' bell. The sweepers in Nairobi, they say, always come from Embu. Kibunga Waita, the iron player, was no exception. Eleswhere in Africa certain tribes tend to adopt one occupation exclusively. After hearing a few Kikuyu songs to the accompaniment of the iron and accordion, the listener who is not case hardened to the pulse may experience a singing in the ears for several hours afterwards. Listening to this kind of Kikuyu song is more a feat of endurance than an aesthetic pleasure. Mamboko dance song with accordian and struck iron (-12.161-).

  • 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.
