- Description: "When we harvest our crops we shall all enjoy dancing the Mlekule." Mlekule is a dance perfromed for the chief at his village. The microphone started beneath the instrument and was moved above when he started singing in order to show the difference of tone between the upper and lower surfaces of the resonator. It is interesting to note that unlike the Likembe Mbira further south, the resonator of this instrument is broader at the top than at the bottom, i.e. the bridge end is the broader. The scale was:- 332, 308, 280, 252, 228, 204, 184, 166 vs. Self delecatative tune, with Marimbe Likembe, box resonated, 18 notes.

The song is sung around the body of the dead person. There is little to indicate from the style and manner of singing that they indicate sorrow or mourning. To an outsider, Zande mourning songs sound as unconcerned with death as similar songs in other African tribes. Mourning song.
