  • Description: The instrument was re-tuned for this song at a slightly higher pitch than for some of his other songs. The singer is a member of the ruling house being an uncle of the present (1950) paramount chief of the Hehe tribe - Adam Sapi Mkwawa. The Ligombo is a long thin trough zither, 40 inches long with a large resonating gourd at the playing end which is cleverly attached to the body of the zither by means of a looped string over the trough and passed down through the base of the gourd. At that end of the loop there is a short stick which twists up the loop until it is taut. A skin washer with the hair side towards the gourd acts as a spring washer and prevents unwinding. Heroic song with Ligombo 6 string trough zither and rhythmic tapping.

The sharp rhythmic beatings were made by the player striking the gourd resonator with the back of a finger. Heroic song with Ligombo 6 string trough zither.

  • Description: "People should not visit their friends without cause as Mgelimembe does."

The players eighteen year old son sits beside his father and provides the rhythmic tapping with his fingernails on the zithers large gourd resonator.
