- Description: This is a man's dance performed on festive occassions to celebrate a Chief's arrival or when the coffee has been harvested. The steps are very simple the whole group moving slowly around in a circle with the drums either in the centre or to one side. The notables wore attractive scarlet parrot tail feathers on their head of plaited palm leaf. The ivory was covered with several cat skins. These horns, beautifully carved out of elephant tusks are a notable feature of the material culture of this part of the Congo. They use the hollow end of the tusk, cutting it off at the nerve tip, so that the tip of the horn is open and can produce two notes. A special feature is the carefully carved broad mouthpiece on the inner side of the curve about one third of the length of the horn from the small end. The small end is often carved as a small human head. In playing the orifice is opened and closed with the thumb. Party dance, with 1 very small slit drum, 1 small slit drum 2 conical laced drums, 2 pod slit drums, ivory horn and basket rattles.

- Description: The singers had just come back from initiation school. Here they use floor polish instead of the traditional red ochre with which to stain themselves. Several of them looked like Nilo Hamite men from Kenya and some of their songs also suggested the modality of those Northern tribes coincidence perhaps, but noticable. "The brown cow is held, caught and held prisoner and stands there all day. The other cows are also held fast in the same way. The brown yearling, our father's cow, ruled over nations while held flat." The words are allusive and symbolic. Male initiation song performed while in the veld.

- Description: "To play the 'Kalimba' is to be happy. I remember long ago when I was a small child when I thought a breast was made of bone. But my mother told me that the breast was not bone, but flesh only. I was fooled long ago, I thought the breast was bone but it is flesh only. Listen my friends, the breast is flesh only." It seems that the obvious meaning of the words is intended to serve a secondary one. Perhaps the revelation of the begining of his natural sex life. Self delectative song.
