"The English wanted to fly up to heaven to see God by means of aeroplanes. But they failed. God sent them a limited height of tweleve miles."

- Description: At the time when cotton was first introduced into Uganda (largely by the efforts of an indsutrial missionary, Mr. K. Borup, from 1903 onwards) a friend of Mr. Borup came to stay with him from England and brought with him the idea of erecting a roundabout. It was such a novelty that this song "Kyuma" was composed about it. The set of royal Entenga drums are kept and played in a separate courtyard of the Lubili palace. In this recording the separate parts are brought out one after the other. Each drummer plays his allotted drums from the treble player down to the deep bass player while the others continue to strike the side of their drums with their beaters. The first four men play 3 drums each. The fifth plays one drum, and the sixth plays the two deepest toned bass drums. Drum tune. Set of 15 tuned conical drums, laced, closed, single.

- Description: The singer praises the people of the Mamba clan, for surely this is the clan where he found his wife "I do not care for the Nkima (monkey) clan, nor for the Ngabi (antelope) clan but only for the Mamba (lung fish) clan from which she came." The sharp tone of these Endongo lyres is caused by the fact that they have no bridge and the vibrating strings buzz against the membrane of the body. Love song, with 2 Endongo 8 strings lyres.
