  • Description: Only one of the two strings of this lute is stopped, the other being used as a kind of drone. A very simple five note accompaniment is possible by this means, from the open string with three stopped notes together with the drone. A bent piece of midrib from a fowl's father is fixed at the far end of the string to act as a buzzer when the string in vibration strikes against it. This stopped lute is found occasionally all the way from this district southwards to the Zambezi, though very rare in the north. What its distribution my be further north and west unknown at present. Both words and instrumental accompaniment are clearly heard in this recording. Topical song with Nenjenje lute, two strings.
