- Description: The instruments were made in 1955. The main xylophone was played by an older boy (about seventeen years). They are very simple, frame xylophones, crudely made. The leader is called Nyanga and the other players are Anamovi. The instrument is three legged. The resonating gourds are fastened alternately up and down as they are too large to place side by side. Two legs are fixed at the bass end and one at the trebler, the structure being so constructed as to lean the instrument over towards the player. The performers were three young boys between the ages of seven and tweleve years. The dance which accompanied this music is a simple ring dance with little action beyond a shuffle. Ulimba dance for young boys and girls with 2 xylophones.
