- Description: These two versions of the same flute were recorded by Mulobo Maswa in September 1950 and again in June 1952. He has been the offical flute player to the royal house of the Kyabazinga of the Soga people, ever since he was a young boy. The first version was recorded after midnight under a starlit sky, and in the second version he was accompanied by two old friends on the drum. The audience sitting around him had to join in as well. The tune "Akantaiba" is taken from a song said to be a century or two old which says, "If your wife is rude to you, she loves another. If your servant is rude to you, he wants to leave you." Flute tune with Ndele, end blown, notched and 4 holed flute (14.2-).

- Description: These pygmies who live in the South Eastern part of the Ituri forest, North of the small town of Beni are of the Mbuti tribe. They are small light coloured men, good looking and diginified in their bearing, far more so than the Nande, a neighbouring Bantu tribe which exploits their activities in hunting and honey gathering, frequently taking from them by force or right more than half of what they catch or gather. Instantly, at the sound of these pipes which they also play for dances the small men threw up their heads and with lips extended as if making the sound "oo" produced yodells or other notes far more powerful than one would expect from ones so small. Yodelling song, the second with sticks.
