- Description: Bolo achieved an unenviable reputation for having neither shield nor ostrich feathers, and for being an univited guest at drinking parties. The playing drums by these Nilotic people is usually far simpler in rhythm than that of the Bantu. It appears to be essential in Luo society near Kisii to have your shield and your ostrich feathers with you when you attend a funeral. Bul dance song for men with Bunde 5 bass drums, laced and Gara leg bells (-12.55-).

- Description: John Cosmos Owade was a rich patron of the singer. Since any party in the district was not complete without his music he was always invited to play, and it was J. C. Owade who footed the bill. He deserves this 'loving song' as he calls it. The melodies played on the accordion between verses seem to have little or no connection with the song except as an extraneous adornment. As the singer starts to sing a verse the accompaniment reverts to the background and allows the singer to sing in the traditional manner. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).

He wanted all the people to know what a good friend he was. The intrusion of the foreign instrument, the accordion has undoubtedly modified the original folk idiom but to what extent it has affected the style of song is not yet known. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).
