The Ngodo of Regulo Zandamela. Ngeniso (4th Movement)

1st Movement "Msitso wo Khata"

  • Authors: Katini we Nyamombe (Leader) , Tracey, Hugh
  • Date: 1943
  • Subjects: Folk music--Africa , Music--Mozambique , Folk songs, Chopi , Chopi (African people) , Field recordings , Africa, Sub-Saharan , Africa Mozambique Zavala f-mz
  • Language: Chopi
  • Type: sound recordings , field recordings , sound recording-musical
  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/194824 , vital:45499 , International Library of African Music, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa , TR209-01
  • Description: This is the first Chopi Ngodo ever recorded and published. It is described in my book "Chopi Muscians" Oxford University Press. The recordings were taken on glass based acetate discs in November 1943 and copied onto tape in October 1963. With the exception of a few verses omitted from one or two of the lyrics this version, performed away from home in the broadcasting studios of SABC Durban, Natal, is the same as a village performance but without the dancers. The players themselves sang all the words which are normally sung by the dancers. As there were no dance routines to be completed during the performance, each item is rather shorter than it would have been in the home village. With these minor exceptions the Ngodo is the complete work; all of it the composition of its leader Katini, a leading figure in Chopi music for 40 years. He died in 1948 about 60 years old. Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.
