- Description: The leader does a shaking dance on her knees as she sings "Water snake! it comes out the east and it is very angry." The singer, in addition to her diviner's beads, shells, bells and small antelope horns, wore a large Catholic rosary with a worn medal of the Sacred heart, knotted into her girdle. Her scarlet skirt was thickly embroidered with designs in white beads. The adoption of Catholic symbols by pagans for their divination rites is common in nominally Catholic countries, especially by Black Africans (originally referred to as Negroes at the time) who use them in their Voodoo ceremonies. Diviners' song with cylindrical drum (-14.03-) and frame drum (-14.92-).

- Description: "Get out of the way. Don't be frightened by gossip, girls, gossip is always a storm in a village. Don't change your abode just because somebody says he loves you. You will find people like that wherever you go. A woman is a dog for whom everybody wants to die." The last line seems to mean that just as an owner is ready to die for his dog should anyone molest it, so a man is ready to die for a woman should she be attacked. The player placed an empty condensed milk tin picked up off the ground nearby, over the free end of the harmonica, vibrating it to and from as far as his mouth position would allow, thus producing not only greater resonance to his own ear but a vibrato as well. Self delectative song, with harmonica.
