  • Description: This is an attractive little song accompanied by a very old and wheezy concertina most of whose original buttons were missing, some of which had been cleverly replaced by bits of reed. The burden of the song may have been more pointed because the singer was in fact a criminal serving a long sentence. The gaol where the recording was made was an open one with no walls or locked gates, and the prisoners they said made no attempt to escape. The song was said to have originated in the Gollel district in Southern Swaziland. Topical song with concertina.

  • Description: This form of open string bow is common to the Nguni people and is held near the lower end of the bow which is held upright. This player stopped the string to obtain his higher note by pinching the string between his first finger and his thumb nail of the left hand, the right hand striking the bow about 10" - 12" from the node above his left hand. He produced a buzzing sound on the string by keeping his thumb nail close to the vibrating string. The closed note by contrast is clear. Topical song with Ligubu bow.
