- Description: This Buudu tribe is said to have come across the savanna along the northern edge of the great tropical Ituri forest from the Ruwenzori mountains in the east to this present locality in north central Congo.

Party song with two pod drums, two slit drums, two conical laced drums, ivory horn and basket rattles.

- Description: The Ebi dance has several variations which all follow the general pattern of a circular dance file. The men take the inner circle and the girls the outer, and the drums are outside the ring. The traditional dress for the men is a black or black and red loin cloth made of bark fibre. This is passed between the legs and up over the hips to the waist. It is held in place by a belt and the stiff cloth when properly set gives the impression of a large black tulip in which the mans torso rides on 2 legs. The most attractive feature of these Mangbetu style dance is the bright scarlet headress of the dancers made of tail feathers of the Congo grey parrot. They are a great treasure to these people, feathers representing part of the token payment of a bride's 'lobolo' or bride 'dowry'. They are said to represent a sign of wealth or social position in the tribe. Ebi dance with 1 large wodden cylindrical slit drum, 2 small wooden cylindrical slit drums, 2 wooden pod drums, 2 large conical laced drums, 1 double metal bell.

- Description: The instruments played by the Alur are typical of the Congo family of Likembe, or box Mbira. The Alur are one of the great Luo groups of tribes and are found both in Uganda and North East Congo. These two Likembe are an octave apart and sound very well played together, though the singing in the first song is crude in comparison with the delicacy of the accompaniment. The song 'Ndiri' with its brilliant accompaniment was so striking that I recorded it a second time to see what variations the players would employ. Both editions are reproduced on this disc for close comparision. The treble Likembe is called Natine and the bass Minu an octave lower. Topical song with Likembe and a struck stick.
