  • Description: Although this and the recording is very thin, it represents three genuine styles of Chopi women's songs and has been included for that reason in spite of the poor tone quality of the recording. Chopi women have a musical life of their own, composing and singing their own songs without the assistance of the menfolk. They have a great variety of songs most of which reflect their own personal thoughts, their troubles and enjoyments, their case for their sons and daughters, and the stresses and strains of their daily lives. Lament for dead Chief Machatini.

  • Description: This is said to be the best song ever composed by Sancho Nyamchungele. The Chopi of Zandamela consider this song excellent both in melody and lyric. It refers to the scattering of Chopi to the mines and other places away from their country when they go off to work. When they sing their song they feel deeply moved by both words and music, they say. The lyric is original, but the melody is very like one of the Mzeno composed by Komukomu of Banguza's village. Orchestral dance with 28 Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This Ngodo of Zavala's village was played and danced in the year following the composer Katini's death. It had been composed by him mostly during the months when he felt himself to be slowly dying of tuberclosis and was fast losing his strenght but never his passion for his Timbila music. The leadership of the village orchestra was taken over by his son, Katinyane, assisted by two other villagers, Hafu wa Maba and Pondekane. In time new compositions replaced those of the old master. The opening numbers of this Ngodo are not up to the old standard but the Mzeno, Mtsumeto and final Chiriri show clearly the stamp of Katini. The first three Msitso have not been included in this disc for lack of space. Orchestral dance.
