Listen to Mutanda drum, but first finish your grinding." Greeting child of the Mudzatsa Tree. There is a double meaning in ngoma mutanda. In the first instance it means a 'mystery or 'magic' - an unknown force, and in the second the plain literal translation of the 'Mutanda drum', a conical hollow wooden drum made of Mutanda wood. "Child of Mudzatsa Tree", refers to the eerie noise of the cracking beanpods of this tree, especially at night, and a person called by this name is only half a creature, a sprite or gnome. Three topical songs with mbira dza WaNdau and deze resonator.
