Hi is frequently called upon from all over Chopiland to compose new tunes for the Timbila orchestras, like the famous Katini wa Nyamombe Zavala, who died in 1948. This Mzeno was played in the absence of the composer. Chambini was already an outstanding player and composer of promise and by 1963 was leading performer of the Zavala district. His compositions lack the clarity of melody of either Katini or Komukomu, but are much appreciated by Chopi players. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

- Description: Introduced by the 'Hino Nacional', the Portuguese national anthem. Women came out in pairs and danced opposite each other, each doing a violent dance du ventre. As soon as they are tired, their places would be taken by two others. The singing horns here are usually manufactured by a local tin smith from galvanised flat iron usually taken from old kerosine tins. One of the horns used was the horn of an old acoustic gramophone. The use of singing horns made of metal is a speciality of the GiTonga. They are played with very noisy drums and struck iron, and the result is deafening rather than musical. Party dance for men and women, with 1 brass drum Bombo, 1 small steel drum made from a bucket, 1 Chingomane flat iron, 4 Puundu singing horns, 1 rattle.
