- Description: The singer's theme deals with the things he wants from life and he gives various examples. He says, "if you want a really good cow, you must ask a chief for one. If you want really good food, you must ask a chief's wife for it." He also says that quarrels between husband and wife are caused by two things, the wife's gossiping and her constant visits to her parents. The bow with its fundamental notes (produced by striking both the long and the short segments of the braced string) over an octave apart (nearly sixteen semitones) is used as a rhythmic ground to set against the swift patter of the song. Wistful song with musical bow, vertical, braced, round section.

- Description: The drums are not the normal drums used in Ruanda (Rwanda) but substitutes. The timekeeper was playing on the same head as the leader which is not correct, in the villages each man having his own drum. The click of sticks can consequently be heard as they strike each other. The players were a small informal group of Hutu miners over 600 miles from home working at the Kolwezi Copper Mine. Yet home style drumming was their particular joy and constant recreation. At approximately 3 minutes, they appear to change to the Urukina tatoo. This tatoo underlines again the fundamental difference of apprach to drumming between the Hima and the Bantu. Although the Hutu speak a Bantu language and are originally of Bantu descent there is widespread intermarriage between them and the Hima overlords, the Tutsi, and the Hima attitude to music and drumming appears to have persisted. Three drum rhythms, three laced conical drums
