  • Description: The name of this tune 'Mbiriwiri' has been associated with the playing of Mbira type instruments from time immemorial. In this case it is also connected with the spirit concept of the Mondoro or Lion spirit. The singer uses several quotations from older songs such as "Regai ndi baiwa ne banga chena, kufa kwandida." This is to be the prophet Chaminuka's last words when he was surrounded by Ndebele soilders who had come to kill him. They could not harm him and he died by being pierced in the armpit with a sharp knife held by a small boy. "Let me be stabbed by a bright knife, the death of my desiring." Song for Mashawi souls with Njari (Mbira).

  • Description: Many of the best pieces of music in South Rhodesia are dedicated to the traditional belief in Mashawi souls. Muzazaranda is one of several songs which accompany this interesting ritual. Mashawi 'Souls' are not to be confused with the various spirits. The former are said to live in the chest of the individual, the latter's usual habitation is external. Girls you have looked at me. Do you know me? You boys, my name is "The cutter of gourds". Do you east grandmother's food, you boys. Under the plate there is something suspicious. Chikanga do not leave me when you go hunting. I want to see it hen you catch a 'duiker' (buck). My mother, ... my mother, has turned over. Has turned over the sun the moon! My mother's magic, it pleases me, it follows me wherever I go. That thing of my mother pleases. It came with four hyaenas. The fifth one ran off with the mouse. You, young person! Look, look you young person! Look, look at the girls! To you, you, you young person! To you, Chijaka, you Chijaka, you young person! Song for Mashawi souls with Njari (Mbira).
