- Description: Eriya Bakwasa is an expert on the playing of the traditional horizontal harp. In this song he sings about a local sub-chief Umukunga, the Gambololo of Buhimba. During the 1939-45 war he was asked to recruit men for the army but all he sent to the Kings African Rifles was his own brother. "What a shame" the old man sings, "we should have done better than that.". The harp is made of a simple oval shaped wooden bowl with skins laced onto top and bottom. The arch of the keys is a stout carved stick in which the 8 pegs are inserted for tightening the strings. The tuning of the harp is as follows:- 322, 284, 240, 180, 161, 142, 120 vs. Topical song with Ekidongo eight string horizontal harp.

- Description: "I will not have anything to do with beer." This old well meaning phrase rings all too hollow in any language and the audience responded in time honoured ribaldry.

The tuning of the harp is as follows:- 322, 284, 240, 180, 161, 142, 120 vs. Topical song with Ekidongo eight string horizontal harp.

- Description: Many years ago the people of Bukoba tried to come to some agreement about making a paramount chief. The idea failed owing to the narrow loyality of the various peoples of their own minor chiefs. Those who had proposed the amalgamation sang, "Leave the fools alone," resolving to carry out their intentions at some future date. The accent of the clapping falls on pulses 2, 5 and 7 in the 8 pulse measure. Topical song with conical laced drum and clapping.
