- Description: The Lala often take the work of tree-felling for others, as they are specially good at it. "I began felling trees in my youth, and did not have a son-in-law to help me (i.e. he had no daughter to be married). So I took my axe and did the work alone. People belonging to the "Sand" clan (totem) are clever, because they choose a specially large tree and worship there, considering it to be a great work of God." "There are women who despise those men who stay at home in the country, so let me go to the town to marry a wiser man." The tribe being matrilineal inherits through the female side. A son-in-law has to assist his wife's family-hence the reference to "no son-in-law to help him." Self-delectative song with Kankowele mbira, fan-shaped, with external resonator

- Description: Although the slit drum, or gong, is used for sending messages among this Congo tribe which lives beside the Bushimaie tributary of the Sankuru, itself a tributary of the Kasai, the great southern aem of the Congo River, it is also used as an accompaniment for dances. It is not known for certain whether it is used to communicate with the dancers during the course of a dance, as is the common practice in West Africa; but from present evidence this appears to be unlikely among the Kanyoka. Kalibambo dance song with 2 Silimba xylophones, 1 slit drum, 3 gobolet drums, handbeaten and 2 basket rattles.

- Description: Some of the best wood for making Timbila notes, grows in the district of this Chief, Regulo Canda. His orchestra, perhaps as a direct result, has been noted for its tone quality. His district includes part of the sea coast and is covered with thick bush with many cashew nut trees. It will be noted that the spelling of the titles of the movements changes with the dialect of the district. In the west it is 'Wemiso' while further east it is 'Mwemiso'. Four movements from the Ngodo xylophone orchestral dance of Regulo Canda with 10 to 19 xylophones and 1 or 2 rattles. (-12.54-).
