Description
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.

The four drummers were the chief singers together with their women. Malimba: 2 xylophones, on frames without resonators. Three goblet drums, one called Itumba and the others Mutumbwe. The Itumba drum was a closed drum with a mirliton fixed into its side, 20 inches high with 12 1/2 inch membrane. The two Mutumbwe drums we both weighted with paste to lower their pitch, and had similar mirlitons. The largest slit drum, Kunri, was insulated from the ground as it had no legs. In this respect the slit drums behave physically like a xylophone note and must be supported at the two nodes or they will not sound properly.
