This has been a popular dance since 1927 or thereabouts. The dancers alternately sing openly and sing through their Lipenga horns. How the subject of Sodom and its destruction came to be chosen as a dance motif is a mystery. Maganda dance (Part 1) with 12 Malipenga singing horns.

  • Description: This style of dancing is most popular in the Dowa district, where most large villages, they say, have their own groups of enthusiasts. "Come and see the glory of these boys". Not the European accent on the ultimate syllable. "muone kuwala", instead of the normal "mu'one kuw'ala". This may well spring from the fact that the Malipenga dance and its dance songs originated with military drilling as performed by the Kings African Rifles and the Nyasaland police. Mujanda dance with Malipenga singing horns.

  • Description: The friction drum is a simple membrane drum with the lower end open. A stick is pierced through a hole in the centre of the membrane and hangs inside the body of the drum being suitably attached to the membrane by small cross pieces pierced through the stick itself. The player usually sits on the ground with the drum resting on his legs, the open end towards his body. Having moistered his hands (or sometimes a cloth) with water he sets the membrane in vibration by the friction of his hands pulling the stick downwards towards him. In this way a roaring sound is made and rhythms produced by alternating the stroke between the two hands. It is essential to keep the two hands wet, water having the same effect as resin on a violin bow. Drinking song with 1 Pwita friction drum and percussion
