  • Description: The leader is well knon in Tabora as a cafe entertainer particularly for his humorous interjections - he starts by introducing himself by name. The record was made in a small room which serves as a club and opens out directly onto the street. The small xylophone was said to have come from the other side of Lake Tanganyika in the Congo from the Manyema people. Many members of Congo tribes have migrated into Tanganyika across the lake on account of the trade by the railway to coast used first by the Arabs and later by the railway to Dar-es-Salaam. The sons of these men who still claim to be tribesmen of the Congo were born in Tanganyika and speak and sing only in Swahili. The style is not local and perhaps originates in the Albertville region of Southern Congo. The tone of voice of these cafe singers is typical of those whose major payment is in kind, whic after a while blurs the edge of their voices and their performances. Humorous song, with Malimba xylophone x 8 and Basket rattle.

Tanganyika Part I

  • Authors: Yobwa Chapi with Gogo men and women , Hugh Tracey
  • Date: 1950
  • Subjects: Gogo (African people) , Songs, Gogo , Folk music , Field recordings , Africa, Sub-Saharan , Africa Tanzania Mvumi f-tz
  • Language: Gogo
  • Type: sound recordings , field recordings , sound recording-musical

  • Description: "Let us play the Zeze lute so that we can remember our old songs. Do not sing in a hurry. Take your time. We, the Gogo are singing in Tanganyika the land of our birth. Why do people sing all my tunes?" A lovely slow chant in which all the people joined, men, women and chidldren. It is clear that the Gogo are a poetic people with great lyrical ability. The local composer comes forward and starts each line for the people to follow. The song was recorded out in the open in the village of Mvumi without reharsal of any kind. It seems likely that it could have continued almost indefinitely, but the exigencies of the recording apparatus and the fact that it was taken before the advent of long playing records made abbreviation necessary. The unexpected loud passages were unfortunately slightly over modulated but, with the technical faults except this recording gives a fair idea of the artistic ca[abilities of these remarkable performers. The recording is in two parts, the second pitched lower than the first and accompanied by a flute obligato which has little if any direct bearing on the melody itself. Nindo praise song with Mulanzi flute in Part II.

  • Description: In this recording the whole group sing the song again, this time not a dance but as a song with most of the stanzas included. It is clear that the length of the song depends largely on the leaders and the leaders and the stanzas they line. There are few in Africa within our experience who can compare with these Gogo musicians in their special field. Nindo praise dance for men and women with Malanzi transverse flute, 2 holed, stopped.
