- Description: "When Serenje's father died, he mourned for a long time. "Toranchi" has taught me how to shoot on the rifle range, so, now I have learnt to shoot, I may be going to the war, and do not know if I will ever come back." This is a piece of fantasy, for in fact, Mr. Torrence has not taught him to shoot, but it is an oblique form of flattery and praise. He is fond of Mr. Torrence who is assistant African personnel manager, and that is why he sings about him in this way. The fact that Mr. Torrence was an officer in the King's African Rifles during the war may have contributed to the singer's hero worship of him. Self-delectative song with Kankowele fan-shaped mbira with external resonator.

- Description: The four drummers were the chief singers together with their women. Malimba 2 xylophones, on frames without resonators.. 3 goblet drums, once called Itumba and the others Mutumbwe. The Itumba drum was a closed drum with a mirliton fixed into its side, 20" high and with 12 1/2" membrane. The Mutumbwe drums were both weighted with paste to lower their pitch, and had similar mirlitons. The large slit drum, Kunri, was insulated from the ground as it had no legs. In this respect the slit drums behave physically like a xylophone note and must be supported at the two nodes or they will not sound properly. Budye dance, with 2 xylophones, 3 conical drums and 1 slit drum

- Description: A song sung on engagement, when the woman is first brought to the man's home. Robert Golozera is the uncle of the present chief Njolomole. The man who is supposed to be singing this song, complains that a certain man came 'behind his back' and slept with his wife while he himself was in the village. In some devious way the theme of the song appears to be intended to be taken as a warning to wantons. Marriage song.
