- 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.
