  • Description: Many years ago the people of Bukoba tried to come to some agreement about making a paramount chief. The idea failed owing to the narrow loyality of the various peoples of their own minor chiefs. Those who had proposed the amalgamation sang, "Leave the fools alone," resolving to carry out their intentions at some future date. The accent of the clapping falls on pulses 2, 5 and 7 in the 8 pulse measure. Topical song with conical laced drum and clapping.

  • Description: "Come here and I will give you more land. The Chief is pleased with the work of his headman." Four men and women were playing the one drum, each beating out his own rhythm on his quater of the membrane. Strangely enough this did not deaden the sound as one might have expected. Before the drum maker closes up his laced drum he places a small stone inside. This they call 'Moyo wengoma,' the drum's heart. It does not serve any musical purpose but is found in every drum in the region. Marunda dance song for men and women with 1 conical, laced drum.

  • Description: "John Otwal, so the singer states, had helped him when he had no transport from Kisumu to his homw and, in addition, had presented him with 100 shillings as a token of affection and esteem. He wanted all the people to know what a good friend he was. The intrusion of the foreign instrument, the accordion has undoubtedly modified the original folk idiom but to what extent it has affected the style of song is not yet known. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).
