- Description: This famous song compsed by Katini of Zavala's village is here played by the Ngodo of Zandamela, led by Sancho Nyangele from Cabo Mahamba's village. The original version of the lyric was written in my book 'Chopi musicians' and only a few words have been changed, such as, 'Ucisika msaho' instead of 'Ucisika timbila' in the second verse. The composer, Katini, had died the previous year (1948) but his songs were so appreciated by the whole tribe that several of the village orchestras played his music. One still hears an occasional item of his 1963, fifteen years after his death. Orchestral dance with 28 Timbila xylophones.

- Description: "Gunde, yes, who is the man brave enough to take the 'wife' of the crocodile. There was once a certain woman who killed her only child and buried her outside the hut. After a while only the skelton remained and the rain fell and washed away the earth, exposing a leg. A crocodile nearby dug up all the bones joined them together and made another child out of them. "Who has done this" the woman cried. Now the child grew up with the crocodile and became a beautiful girl. So the mother sang. "Who is brave enough to take my daughter from the crocodile." No one in the village was brave enough so the crocodile kept his girl from himself. The mother continually came to the lake to sing for her daughter. One day the daughter heard her mother and as the crocodile was away she came out and went with her to the village. But the crocodile came and begged for the girl as he himself had brought her up and given her life. The mother could not refuse him and so the daughter went back to the lake and married the crocodile. Nthano story song.
