  • Description: The instruments played by the Alur are typical of the Congo family of Likembe, or box Mbira. The Alur are one of the great Luo groups of tribes and are found both in Uganda and North East Congo. These two Likembe are an octave apart and sound very well played together, though the singing in the first song is crude in comparison with the delicacy of the accompaniment. The song 'Ndiri' with its brilliant accompaniment was so striking that I recorded it a second time to see what variations the players would employ. Both editions are reproduced on this disc for close comparision. The treble Likembe is called Natine and the bass Minu an octave lower. Topical song with Likembe and a struck stick.

  • Description: A song of welcome to a friend. He also warns him not to drink "Enguli" or Nubian gin, which is distilled from 'Jagri', unrefined sugar still in the coagulated stage. 'Jagri' is the Hindustani word for this and the customers for this commodity at Indian stores have taken over the foreign word. This brilliant singer is well known in Buganda. The clarity both of his singing and playing on the harp is delightful. Song with horizontal, arched, 8 stringed harp.
