- Description: This famous song compsed by Katini of Zavala's village is here played by the Ngodo of Zandamela, led by Sancho Nyangele from Cabo Mahamba's village. The original version of the lyric was written in my book 'Chopi musicians' and only a few words have been changed, such as, 'Ucisika msaho' instead of 'Ucisika timbila' in the second verse. The composer, Katini, had died the previous year (1948) but his songs were so appreciated by the whole tribe that several of the village orchestras played his music. One still hears an occasional item of his 1963, fifteen years after his death. Orchestral dance with 28 Timbila xylophones.

- Description: This is said to be the best song ever composed by Sancho Nyamchungele. The Chopi of Zandamela consider this song excellent both in melody and lyric. It refers to the scattering of Chopi to the mines and other places away from their country when they go off to work. When they sing their song they feel deeply moved by both words and music, they say. The lyric is original, but the melody is very like one of the Mzeno composed by Komukomu of Banguza's village. Orchestral dance with 28 Timbila xylophones.
