The drums are not the normal drums used in Rwanda but substitutes. The timekeeper was playing on the same head as the leader which is not correct, in thevVillages each man having his own drum. The click of sticks can consequently be heard as they strike each other. The players were a small informal group of Hutu miners over 600 miles from home working at the Kolwezi Copper Mine. Yet homestyle drumming was their particular joy and constant recreation. The name of this tattoo was announced at the beginning. During the playing the leader broke four sticks one after the other, his friends handing him substitutes. The sticks were only short pieces of wood not the correct spoon headed carved beaters used in their own country. This tattoo underlines again the fundamental difference of approach to drumming between the Hima and the Bantu. Although the Hutu speak a Bantu language and originally of Bantu descent, there is widespread intermarriage between them and the Hima overlords, the Tutsi, and the Hima attitude to music and drumming appears to have persisted.

The song refers to the recruiting of the men of Ruanda-Urundi for work on the Copper mines of the Katanga Province in the south of the Congo Belge. The Union Miniere asked the Mwami of Ruanda for strong men for this work and when they arrived at the airfield they asked their leader which way they would travel. "It was not by land nor by water, he replied, but by air they would go." So they were taken from Usumbura to Elisabethville by air.

There is nothing to tell the uninitiated that it was a special drum as it is of the usual shape, if slightly larger than most. The drum was 43 inches tall and 17 inches across the head, goblet sha...
