- Description: 2 Chohodwani drums, hanging on poles (beaters) pegged, closed. 1 Shikulu drum. Big drum on ground, hand beaten, wine barrel. 2 Kirisu drums on ground (beaters) pegged open. 1 Tsakara corrugated iron strip on supports, 6 ft. long. 1 Punzu sable antelope horn. The 2 Kisusu drums were played by one man who beat an irregular rhythm against the three other drum's regular rhythm. The clappers were carefully made of sawn planks, blacked along the edges. The main dance of the GiTonga appears to be a kind of violent dance du ventre in which the hips and belly are rolled and shaken. The women and men coming out in pairs to dance in the centre of the ring. In both Zore II and III the order of appearance of the instrument is:- First Kirisu drums, then the 2 Chohodwani drums, then the Shikulu and then the corrugated iron Tsakara. The GiTonga dances are among the most deafening in Africa. The volume of sound within the circle of spectators, drummers and dancers must approach. If not exceed, the threshold of pain in the ears. Dance with 5 drums (1 struck by hand, 4 with beaters), rattles, wooden clappers, and corrugated iron strip.

- Description: The Chibvelani bow was strung with Ilala palm leaf and the player used all four fingers of the left hand to stop the string and not the more usual one or two, hence the more interesting meloduc possibilities. The bow is resonated in the open mouth, the palm leaf passing between, but not touching, the parted lips. The musical principal is the same as that of the Jews Harp, a vibrating medium suspended in front of the mouth cavity, the pitch of the notes being controlled by altering the shape of the mouth and throat. The performer is virtually singing silently. "I am weeping because my wife has left me though I still loved her." In this song, the singer says who he is, where he is, and the name of his chief, as well as other remarks. He continued his first song with additional verses in his third item. Tune on Chitende stressed bow.

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.

- Description: Introduced by the 'Hino Nacional', the Portuguese national anthem. Women came out in pairs and danced opposite each other, each doing a violent dance du ventre. As soon as they are tired, their places would be taken by two others. The singing horns here are usually manufactured by a local tin smith from galvanised flat iron usually taken from old kerosine tins. One of the horns used was the horn of an old acoustic gramophone. The use of singing horns made of metal is a speciality of the GiTonga. They are played with very noisy drums and struck iron, and the result is deafening rather than musical. Party dance for men and women, with 1 brass drum Bombo, 1 small steel drum made from a bucket, 1 Chingomane flat iron, 4 Puundu singing horns, 1 rattle.
