Boyoka Malinga I (Field Card)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR126 (1952) , 1 page(s)
This tune is also an attempt to transpose a popular guitar tune well-known in S. Congo and elsewhere onto the Likembe (Mbira) of the district or vice versa. This is made possible by the fact that locally the Bira tribe uses a "heptatonic" scale.
