  • Description: The perfomer was his own rattle player holding the rattle in his right hand. He is typical of the casual entertainer who use two or three chords repeated endlessly on their topical allusions which nowadays pass for serious song making. They frequently advertise themsleves, constantly mentioning their own names during the course of the song or as an introduction, as in this case. Topical song with guitar and rattle.

  • Description: The Gulu was played with a rubber headed beater (like the Chopi 'Tikongo') and the hand. The two Daiero were played with a pair of light sticks. The style of dancing which has persisted among the GiTonga of the Inhambane region for many decades appears to be solely the dance du ventre, performed either by men or women in which almost every possible action of the pelvic region below the waist is employed with tedious repetition. It is doubtful whether teh dance music of the GiTonga would have any attractions for other local tribes. Dance (Dance du Ventre), with 4 singing horns, Puundu, 1 Bombo Gulu bass drum abd 2 Daiero drums.

  • Description: The name 'Bombo' is taken from the Portuguese for 'Bass Drum'. The Daiero drums were home made and joined together after the fashion of jazz 'Bongo' drums which they are intended to represent. The music played and sung by the drums and horns is supposed to be an imitation of jazz but would hardly be recognised as such by an outsider. The local GiTonga modality can be clearly heard in the pitch of their voices. Dance (Dance du Ventre), with 4 singing horns, Puundu, 1 Bombo Gulu bass drum abd 2 Daiero drums.

The personal problems of well known people in the community are frequently aired in this way, thus creating a certain public opinion and bringing pressure to bear upon individuals to conform to the local pattern of correct behaviour.
