- Description: The music for the Zande round dance. All the dancers perform the same steps in unison, short quick steps to and fro, turning into file and then facing inwards again, gradually moving around in an anti-clockwise direction. The enthusiasm of the Zande men and women for their Kponingbo xylophone dance has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. The dancers are caught in the swirl of the music and compel sympathetic action from everyone within earshot. The tuning of the xylophone was:- 976, 880, 784, 672, 584, 488, 440, 392, 336, 292, 244 vs. Zande dance with Kponingbo xylophone, 11 loose notes on 2 banana stalks, and hand bells.

- Description: The double headed drums may be beaten at either end according to the pitch of note required by the player. The metal bells are pod shaped 3 long and are fixed onto wooden handles. They are similar in shape to most dancing bells in Southern Africa which are worn elsewhere as anklets. The dancing of the Sudanic tribe of Zande people is most attractive. It is a round dance in which the movements of the dancers are not exaggerated but the routines are subtle and complex. The slit drums in this region are made with feet and do not need insulating from the ground as with the simple cylindrical slit drums elsewhere. The feet emerge from the body of the slit drum at nodel points and so do not interfere with the resonance of teh drum. Bagbele dance , with large slit drum, footed, 3 double headed cross laced conical drums, 4 pairs metal bells on carved handles.
