  • Description: "Let us play the Zeze lute so that we can remember our old songs. Do not sing in a hurry. Take your time. We, the Gogo are singing in Tanganyika the land of our birth. Why do people sing all my tunes?" A lovely slow chant in which all the people joined, men, women and chidldren. It is clear that the Gogo are a poetic people with great lyrical ability. The local composer comes forward and starts each line for the people to follow. The song was recorded out in the open in the village of Mvumi without reharsal of any kind. It seems likely that it could have continued almost indefinitely, but the exigencies of the recording apparatus and the fact that it was taken before the advent of long playing records made abbreviation necessary. The unexpected loud passages were unfortunately slightly over modulated but, with the technical faults except this recording gives a fair idea of the artistic ca[abilities of these remarkable performers. The recording is in two parts, the second pitched lower than the first and accompanied by a flute obligato which has little if any direct bearing on the melody itself. Nindo praise song with Mulanzi flute in Part II.
