  • Description: Although the slit drum, or gong, is used for sending messages among this Congo tribe which lives beside the Bushimaie tributary of the Sankuru, itself a tributary of the Kasai, the great southern aem of the Congo River, it is also used as an accompaniment for dances. It is not known for certain whether it is used to communicate with the dancers during the course of a dance, as is the common practice in West Africa; but from present evidence this appears to be unlikely among the Kanyoka. Kalibambo dance song with 2 Silimba xylophones, 1 slit drum, 3 gobolet drums, handbeaten and 2 basket rattles.

Ba Serenje balokulila bawishibo (Serenje is weeping over his father)

- Adamsoni Kabamba, Hugh Tracey

  • Authors: Adamsoni Kabamba , Hugh Tracey
  • Date: 1957
  • Subjects: Folk music--Africa , Folk songs, Ambo (Zambia) , Instrumental music , Mbira music
  • Language: Lala
  • Type: sound recordings , field recordings , sound recording-musical
  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/134640 , vital:37186
  • Description: "When Serenje's father died, he mourned for a long time. "Toranchi" has taught me how to shoot on the rifle range, so, now I have learnt to shoot, I may be going to the war, and do not know if I will ever come back." This is a piece of fantasy, for in fact, Mr. Torrence has not taught him to shoot, but it is an oblique form of flattery and praise. He is fond of Mr. Torrence who is assistant African personnel manager, and that is why he sings about him in this way. The fact that Mr. Torrence was an officer in the King's African Rifles during the war may have contributed to the singer's hero worship of him. Self-delectative song with Kankowele fan-shaped mbira with external resonator.
