- Description: A lovely melody taken from a Rungano story. The present musician himself had added his own instrumental accompaniment to an old song. After the last song, it is surprising to find that this is played on the same instrument, the key or mode seems to be quite different. "He-he-he laughing! He-he-he on the path! Do not be surprise if you see the Buzi river brown, It was because Manyati washed his gums. It is really me they are talking about. The little girl has disappointed me, She told me to wash myself so that we could be lovers; So I waited to be the first to wash in the pool." Spoken: "This is why the girls all laugh at us!" Song from a story with Mbira dze chiNdau.

- Description: The girls wore rattles strapped to their right ankles. The costume was composed of rather long cotton blouses, skirts, trousers and grass skirts over all. The drum was hung onto a stick planted into the soft sand and was played with two light sticks by a blind drummer. Luzi Chowane is the leader of the Ngodo dancers and composed this item for the girls to dance, directing it by whistle. He altered the tone of the whistle by placing finger and thumb on either side of the fipple. This can be heard best during the drum solo. As with so much African dance music the sight of the dance is often more entertaining than the sound of the dance music. This movement lasrs 4m. 50s. when they give 'cries', followed by the second movement at 5m. 20s. which in turn is followed by short 'tokozela' cries at 6m. 40s. Young girls dance with drum Muchinga, clapping with wooden clappers, hand clapping and whistle.

- Description: Chimveka, they say, are only played at the end of the harvest season when there is plenty of food. In time of famine these pipes are never heard. Bands of small Chopi boys can often be seen out in the bush capering around in a tight circle, heads close together and blowing their flutes almost into each others cars. They seem to enjoy the excessive noise at close quarters. The scale of the flutes would appear to be arbitrary and does not correspond with the scale of the Timbila xylophones. The tuning of this set of pipes was:- 632, 592, 544, 488, 412, 372, 348 vs. giving intervals of 112, 147, 188, 148, 145, 177 and 115 cents respectively. Reed end-blown pipes, with rattles and stamping.

- Description: "He is weeping for his palm trees which have been taken by others, although he planted them, it as a punishment for what he has done." An unusual kind of song no doubt overlooked on account of the Timbila music. All the people standing around began to join with the song as it was clearly well known. The player had equipped himself with a couple of sprigs of shrub with about half a dozen long and slender dry seed pods. This he used as a gentle rattle for accompaniment. It was the first of its kind I had seen. Lament with Seed Pod rattle.
