  • Description: This flute is unusual in that it is made from a single section of banboo 28 inches long by 3/4 inches. The bamboo grows on the higher slopes of the Ruwenzori mountain just above the homes of the Konjo people who live on the foothills below. The first finger hole is 17 inches from the mouthpiece notch. The four holes are played by the first and third fingers of each hand, the thumbs and second fingers holding the flute. Bamboos on the Ruwenzori are said to grow as much as 14 inches per day, which makes them ideal for making flutes as the distance between nodes is long. Nyamulera dance for men with Nyamulera four holed end blown notched flute, two conical drums, laced, single, played with hands.

  • Description: Some of the best wood for making Timbila notes, grows in the district of this Chief, Regulo Canda. His orchestra, perhaps as a direct result, has been noted for its tone quality. His district includes part of the sea coast and is covered with thick bush with many cashew nut trees. It will be noted that the spelling of the titles of the movements changes with the dialect of the district. In the west it is 'Wemiso' while further east it is 'Mwemiso'. Four movements from the Ngodo xylophone orchestral dance of Regulo Canda with 10 to 19 xylophones and 1 or 2 rattles. (-12.54-).
