- Description: The strings of the short lyre are only 13", those of the long are 28"-30". This song was composed in honour of the old chief Mumia who died on April 28th 1949 about 90 years old, though the locals claim his age to have been anything up to 130 years. He was a brave man, they say, who fought his enemies to the last man and ruled for some 70 years, leaving his mark upon the history of North Nyanza. The Indongoli lyre is played upright, unlike many of the lyres in Western Kenya which are held horizontal. Heroic song, with Indongoli 8 string short lyre and Tsindeche leg bells (-12.55-)
