- Description: The daughters names were Melia and Elena Mahuto. This is the story of a girl who could do no manner of work and had to be looked after by her sisters. Eventually she was married and when she went to her husband's home she took three of her young sisters with her to look after her. One day when they had gone off to collect firewood, her mother-in-law asked her to pund a little grain in the mortar. She told her that this was impossible and that she must never do a stroke of work or she would die. The mother-in-law did not believe her and asked her to do just a few strokes with the pestle so that she could see for herself what would happen. She agreed and immediately fell down dead. When the three sisters returned with the firewood they found their sister was not there. Where was she? No one knew. They guessed what had happened and immediately they sang a magic song which revived her sister and she came alive again. When her husband's relatives saw all this they agreed that she must return to her own home and never come back as she could never make a good wife. Ngano story

An unusual kind of song no doubt overlooked on account of the Timbila music. All the people standing around began to join with the song as it was clearly well known. The player had equipped himself with a couple of sprigs of shrub with about half a dozen long and slender dry seed pods. This he used as a gentle rattle for accompaniment. It was the first of its kind I had seen. Lament with Seed Pod rattle.

- Description: Chimveka, they say, are only played at the end of the harvest season when there is plenty of food. In time of famine these pipes are never heard. Bands of small Chopi boys can often be seen out in the bush capering around in a tight circle, heads close together and blowing their flutes almost into each others cars. They seem to enjoy the excessive noise at close quarters. The scale of the flutes would appear to be arbitrary and does not correspond with the scale of the Timbila xylophones. The tuning of this set of pipes was:- 632, 592, 544, 488, 412, 372, 348 vs. giving intervals of 112, 147, 188, 148, 145, 177 and 115 cents respectively. Reed end-blown pipes, with rattles and stamping.

- Description: Chimveka, they say, are only played at the end of the harvest season when there is plenty of food. In time of famine these pipes are never heard. Bands of small Chopi boys can often be seen out in the bush capering around in a tight circle, heads close together and blowing their flutes almost into each others cars. They seem to enjoy the excessive noise at close quarters. The scale of the flutes would appear to be arbitrary and does not correspond with the scale of the Timbila xylophones. The tuning of this set of pipes was:- 632, 592, 544, 488, 412, 372, 348 vs. giving intervals of 112, 147, 188, 148, 145, 177 and 115 cents respectively. Reed end-blown pipes, with rattles and stamping.

- Description: "No one cares for me and they give me leaves to wear instead of cotton clothes." This is the complaint of a rejected wife whose husband is away working, or of a widow who has been thrown back on her own meagre resources. The leader, Elena Josio, calls out her own name at the end of the song. Another explanation was that the dead person had not been properly clothed in a shroud for burial. Funeral song with clapping.

- Description: The girls wore rattles strapped to their right ankles. The costume was composed of rather long cotton blouses, skirts, trousers and grass skirts over all. The drum was hung onto a stick planted into the soft sand and was played with two light sticks by a blind drummer. Luzi Chowane is the leader of the Ngodo dancers and composed this item for the girls to dance, directing it by whistle. He altered the tone of the whistle by placing finger and thumb on either side of the fipple. This can be heard best during the drum solo. As with so much African dance music the sight of the dance is often more entertaining than the sound of the dance music. This movement lasrs 4m. 50s. when they give 'cries', followed by the second movement at 5m. 20s. which in turn is followed by short 'tokozela' cries at 6m. 40s. Young girls dance with drum Muchinga, clapping with wooden clappers, hand clapping and whistle.
