- Description: "Flowers, flowers for a child to play with. My father died tragically at Makwiani, my mother stoops in the shade of the wood. This music is for worship at Marange." The sad death of his father meant nothing to the children only like a flower to play with. Now his mother walks in the shadow of death, (literally walks bowed down) in the shade of the trees. His music in this song would be used in the worship or devotion of the souls (Mashawi) were he at home, at Marange. Personal laments with mbira dza WaNdau and deze resonator.

- Description: "Hey, child-first finish your digging. The mysteries have been listening for me. Mistakes in dancing do not carry as far as home. Listen to Mutanda drum, but first finish your grinding." Greeting child of the Mudzatsa Tree. There is a double meaning in ngoma mutanda. In the first instance it means a 'mystery or 'magic' - an unknown force, and in the second the plain literal translation of the 'Mutanda drum', a conical hollow wooden drum made of Mutanda wood. "Child of Mudzatsa Tree", refers to the eerie noise of the cracking beanpods of this tree, especially at night, and a person called by this name is only half a creature, a sprite or gnome. Three topical songs with mbira dza WaNdau and deze resonator.
