- Description: It was explained that this song is sung "When we go out hunting for five days." In Northern Rhodesia especially, axe blades are often used as an accompaniment to song. This single blade is not however a good example. Men will knock the triangular blades out of their handles and tap them rhythmically. This particularly effective when a number of blades are used each producing its distinctive oitch of note which serves to accentuate the pattern of the crossed rhythm which are tapped out. The choice of harmonic intervals in this song is interesting. Hunting song, with two pieces of metal (1 axe blade)

- 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-).
