  • Description: It appears that the Ganda, like the English, use a great number of euphemisms for the natural human functions.

The Chief himself, his ladies and the audience thoroughly approved the sentiment expressed by the singer. Topical song, with two conical drums and hand clapping, one drum 34" x 9", one 19" x 15 1/2".

In the 1920's the autoharp was the most popular of foreign manufactured unstruments, several hundred thousand having been sold to Africans in South Africa alone.
