Some say that the loud noise of the drum spoils the music. This item could give substance to their objection, but Banguza's village the drum is preferred. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 16 players (-14.52102-).

- Description: This Ngodo of Zavala's village was played and danced in the year following the composer Katini's death. It had been composed by him mostly during the months when he felt himself to be slowly dying of tuberclosis and was fast losing his strenght but never his passion for his Timbila music. The leadership of the village orchestra was taken over by his son, Katinyane, assisted by two other villagers, Hafu wa Maba and Pondekane. In time new compositions replaced those of the old master. The opening numbers of this Ngodo are not up to the old standard but the Mzeno, Mtsumeto and final Chiriri show clearly the stamp of Katini. The first three Msitso have not been included in this disc for lack of space. Orchestral dance.

- 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.

- Description: Composed in 1943, 20 years before, this Mxeno is still played and loved all over Chopiland. It was recorded on this occasion under almost impossible conditions with a high wind and driving showers of rain. It was intended to demonstrate the singing rather than the Timbila playing which in fact was not very good. The words of this Mzeno, almost unaltered since it was first composed by Katini, appear in my book "Chopi Muscians" P24 and 25. It will be noticed that the present players and singers end the Mxeno on the last verse of the lyric without repaeating the first stanza as a coda, which Katini himself used to do. Each verse, by tradition, is repeated. The Timbila of the leader was not well strapped up, hence the rattle of the slats against the beaerers. Orchestral dance, with 15 Timbila xylophones and 4 Njele rattles.

- Description: Composed in 1943, 20 years before, this Mxeno is still played and loved all over Chopiland. It was recorded on this occasion under almost impossible conditions with a high wind and driving showers of rain. It was intended to demonstrate the singing rather than the Timbila playing which in fact was not very good. The words of this Mzeno, almost unaltered since it was first composed by Katini, appear in my book "Chopi Muscians" P24 and 25. It will be noticed that the present players and singers end the Mxeno on the last verse of the lyric without repaeating the first stanza as a coda, which Katini himself used to do. Each verse, by tradition, is repeated. The Timbila of the leader was not well strapped up, hence the rattle of the slats against the beaerers. Orchestral dance, with 15 Timbila xylophones and 4 Njele rattles.
