  • Description: Composed by the good player and maker of Timbila at the time working at the Robinson mine in Johannesburg. Hi is frequently called upon from all over Chopiland to compose new tunes for the Timbila orchestras, like the famous Katini wa Nyamombe Zavala, who died in 1948. This Mzeno was played in the absence of the composer. Chambini was already an outstanding player and composer of promise and by 1963 was leading performer of the Zavala district. His compositions lack the clarity of melody of either Katini or Komukomu, but are much appreciated by Chopi players. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: "He is weeping for his palm trees which have been taken by others, although he planted them, it as a punishment for what he has done." An unusual kind of song no doubt overlooked on account of the Timbila music. All the people standing around began to join with the song as it was clearly well known. The player had equipped himself with a couple of sprigs of shrub with about half a dozen long and slender dry seed pods. This he used as a gentle rattle for accompaniment. It was the first of its kind I had seen. Lament with Seed Pod rattle.

  • Description: This cider is made from the fruit of the Caju tree, (also spelt Cazhu and Cashew). The fruit consists of an apple, which is fermented for cider, and an external nut, the cashew nut, which is attached to the tip of the apple in a crescent shaped pod. The nut itself is edible but the hard pod in which it is encased is impregnated with virulent oil which must first be expelled by fire or distillation before the nut can be cracked open. It now forms an important part of the local economy. The cashew apples rippen in November and their harvest marks a time of annual indulgence for the Chopi and is frequently mentioned in song. Drinking song.
