Description: Komukomu started this attractive melody very quickly while a few members of the orchestra interpolated occasional notes. When we recorded this item they played rather more loudly than before and lost something of the charm of this solo performance. As the road to Regulo Banguza's village was at the time impassable, Komukomu and his musicians walked over to Mavila's village with their instruments for this recording, a distance of about six miles. The drift across the river was temporarily out of use on account of recent floods. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 4 players (-14.52102-).

Description: Note how the opening Cadenza is a brief summary of the main musical ideas to be treated in the body of the work (Chiriri movement). The woman who ululates in this piece used to take a shield and dance with the men in her young days, an unusual practice but done on rare occassions as the Ngodo is essentially an athletic dance for men only. Orchestral dances with Timbila xylophones.
