- Description: This cider is made from the fruit of the Caju tree, (also spelt Cazhu and Cashew). The fruit consists of an apple, which is fermented for cider, and an external nut, the cashew nut, which is attached to the tip of the apple in a crescent shaped pod. The nut itself is edible but the hard pod in which it is encased is impregnated with virulent oil which must first be expelled by fire or distillation before the nut can be cracked open. It now forms an important part of the local economy. The cashew apples rippen in November and their harvest marks a time of annual indulgence for the Chopi and is frequently mentioned in song. Drinking song.

- Description: This new Mzeno of Komukomu is most unusual in that he has combined it with the Msumeto, the 'advance' Mzeno, with the 'retreat' Mtsumeto. It was composed in 1948. The melodies or counter subjects sung by the dancers are particularly pleasing and illustrate the wide musical potential of this form of passcaglia. The change from Mzeno to Mtsumeto occurs at 3m. 59s. from the start of the item. Komukomu was never afraid of innovations, and this was one of them. The fact that it did not last long and he reverted to the more usual form of separate Mzeno and Mtsumeto would indicate that it was not considered altogether satisfactory as a device. This item was recorded at the neighbouring village of Mavila. Two movements of orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

- Description: The story of an elephant who was given a child to liik after. "I have brought up so many children, that is easy, leave it to me" said the elephant. So he took the child away into the thick bush. When evening came she called the elephant to bring the child back. But there was no reply. So she went home to tell her husband and to collect the men to come and help her find the elephant. They came straight away, found the footprints of the elephant and followed them into the bush singing to the elephant as they went. At this point the recording ends without the denouement, so we shall never know if she got her child back or not. Whenever the word or refrain 'Samanyemba' is used in a Karanga song it is usually associated with decit. It appears that Samanyemba was the father of all liars - men were deceivers ever. Story song.

- 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.
