- Description: "With the name of the Lord I should begin. And with his name I should finish. That I may compose them evenly with good things exultingly." Much of the Mashairi poetry, they say, is religious in nature. The African authors demonstrate the extent to which Arab culture has penetrated along the old trade routes. The speaker was fluent in Arabic and his Swahili appears to be more 'classical' than usual. Mashairi sung poems

- Description: This song shows an adaptation of Nyamwezi African words to an Arab foreign tune. The distortions of Bantu speech tones appear to be less pronounced than in similar adaptations of local words to European tunes. The Nyamwezi peoples were for centuries closely associated with Arab traders and were the carriers of their trade goods into the interior from Bagamoyo on the coast to the lake at Ujiji. They also acted as carriers for most of the famous East African explorers including Livingstone and Stanely. Love song, with one Udi, Arab guitar, one Mandoline and one Tambourine drum (-14.91-).

- Description: The instrument was re-tuned for this song at a slightly higher pitch than for some of his other songs. The singer is a member of the ruling house being an uncle of the present (1950) paramount chief of the Hehe tribe - Adam Sapi Mkwawa. The Ligombo is a long thin trough zither, 40 inches long with a large resonating gourd at the playing end which is cleverly attached to the body of the zither by means of a looped string over the trough and passed down through the base of the gourd. At that end of the loop there is a short stick which twists up the loop until it is taut. A skin washer with the hair side towards the gourd acts as a spring washer and prevents unwinding. Heroic song with Ligombo 6 string trough zither and rhythmic tapping.
