- Description: Lesu, the composer of this song was a martinet in matters of dance dress. He would turn away dancers who were not properly equipped. Well dressed dancers would be brought out in front as an example for others to copy. A Meru dance is most colourful. The girls being adorned with coloured bead necklets and both men and women paint patterns in ochre colours on their faces, from vermillion to ultramarine. The complex structure of this song is most interesting and elusive. Ufina dance song for men and women.

- Description: The Embrukoi dance is characterised by high leaps into the air with a rigid body. The dancers will leap as much as 18 inches clear into the air, at the same time giving a characteristic lift to the chin. The song praises his friends who kill lions. He sings also that he himself found a lion beside the path and killed it with his spear, a not uncommon feat among these people. He also sings of a faction fight in his district between neighbouring villages. This is a well known song in the Arusha district. The use of a thin falsetto by the solo singer quite belies the look of the man, which is far from being effeminate and typical of the young Masai moran. Embrukoi dance song for men and women.

- Description: "My love Marrite has been taken away. I will send my friend Morani to fetch her. Morani will go to the mission by night." The fine Marrite dance was started by Marrite who dances better than her father. "Show me the way to the court, so that I may report the man who stole my Marrite." These Meru people are among the most handsome in Africa and were a brave sight in their beautiful costumes with their bright beads, their six foot long spears and pastel coloured shields. The setting, upon the slopes of Mount Meru was also exhilarating in a green sward set among the large forest trees. Marrite dance song for men and women.

- Description: "We went along the Nairobi road, looking for water but we found none. So we returned with empty gourds and started drinking what we could find." The song is not quite what it seems on the surface and is understood to refer to cattle raiding. A Meru dance is most colourful. The girls being adorned with coloured bead necklets and both men and women paint patterns in ochre colours on their faces, from vermillion to ultramarine. The complex structure of this song is most interesting and elusive. Ufina dance song for men and women.
