- Description: Tune based upon a traditional song. "Moslems are fasting - Moslems fast." The fast of Ramadan was just over when this item was recorded. Both this instrument and the other xylophone at the Lubili (palace) had been brought in from different parts of the country. They were both slightly out of the tune, it was said. The shape of the individual notes was interesting having two lugs protruding from the lower side to prevent the note from jumping out of place over the two banana stalk supports. The notes are kept in place laterally by their wands about 3 feet long which are sharpened and stuck into the soft stalks between each slat. 1248, 1120, 928, 832, 728, 624, 560, 464, 416, 364, 312, 280, 232, 208, 182, 156, 140. Instrumental tunes, with Madinda 17 note xylophone, loose notes on banana stalks, 3 players.

- Description: It has been noticed that while the flying ants are leaving a nest the soilder ants beat their heads on the ground; a sharp noise will also make them do this. Perhaps the explanation may be found in this direction. Two split holes, called Luwanzo, are taken to an ant hill in the late afternoon during rainy weather and balanced carefully on small bunches of banana fibre. The players then beat out rhythms such as this "To the Queen Ant" so that she will send out her flying ants for the men to catch and eat. They say it works wonderfully. Percussion rhythm, using two Luwanzo poles.
