  • Description: For this recording, the drums performed alone without the singing, but on occasion with the whistles in the background provided by the dancers. Each of the 3 drums can be heard separately with its distinctive tune, the Akanono, the Cimbulunge, and the Fwanda-fwanda, each of which has a fairly complex rhythm and tone pattern to add to the whole resultant. It would appear that the Lala style of drumming are among the most evolved in N. Rhodesia. The stick, as in common in this region adds a percussive rhythm of its own and is beaten on to the body of one of the drums adding to the general welter of sound. The rattle was an improvisation, being a small rectangular tin containing pieces of metal and not a specially constructed article. Drum rhythm with 3 conical drums and 1 stick, whistles and rattle
