- Description: One of the songs said to have been sung after a tribal raid - a morality song after victory, so that the people will continue to be strong and not be thrown out of their country. It was sung when Europeans first entered the country about the end of the last century when Sir Harry Johnstone first ruled the country. "You! It is A Kachere who has increased the population of this country. There should not be prostitutes, it is forbidden or you will be thrown out by the white men." The Kachere mentioned in the song was the father of the present Chief who is about 70 years old. The song is no doubt derived from the old Nguni custom of purification after fighting. A fighting song with clapping.

- 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-).
