Nakatiye (Field Card)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR121 (1952) , 1 page(s)
"What a liar." Chorus: "Yes indeed, what a terrible liar." (Meant humourously) An attractive chorus with typical declining melody almost like a series of yodels.

Nakatiye (Track)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR121 , 3 mins
Only one of the two strings of this lute is stopped -- the other being used as a kind of drone. A very simple 5 note accompaniment is possible by this means, from the open string with three stopped notes together with the drone. A bent piece of midrib from a fowl's feather is fixed at the far end of the string to...

A very simple 5 note accompaniment is possible by this means, from the open string with three stopped notes together with the drone.

Only one of the two strings of this lute is stopped -- the other being used as a kind of drone. A very simple 5 note accompaniment is possible by this means, from the open string with three stopped notes together with the drone. A bent piece of midrib from a fowl's feather is fixed at the far end of the string to act as a buzzer when the string in vibration strikes against it. This stopped lute is found occasionally all the way from this district southwards to the Zambesi, though very rare in the north. What its distribution may be further north and west unknown at present. Both words and instrumental accompaniment are clearly heard in this recording.
