  • Description: This new Mzeno of Komukomu is most unusual in that he has combined it with the Msumeto, the 'advance' Mzeno, with the 'retreat' Mtsumeto. It was composed in 1948. The melodies or counter subjects sung by the dancers are particularly pleasing and illustrate the wide musical potential of this form of passcaglia. The change from Mzeno to Mtsumeto occurs at 3m. 59s. from the start of the item. Komukomu was never afraid of innovations, and this was one of them. The fact that it did not last long and he reverted to the more usual form of separate Mzeno and Mtsumeto would indicate that it was not considered altogether satisfactory as a device. This item was recorded at the neighbouring village of Mavila. Two movements of orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: Komukomu started this attractive melody very quickly while a few members of the orchestra interpolated occasional notes. When we recorded this item they played rather more loudly than before and lost something of the charm of this solo performance. As the road to Regulo Banguza's village was at the time impassable, Komukomu and his musicians walked over to Mavila's village with their instruments for this recording, a distance of about six miles. The drift across the river was temporarily out of use on account of recent floods. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 4 players (-14.52102-).
