"The baboon's eyes are deep-set you can touch my body but not my head. I belong to the baboon clan. I cannot be ruled by iron. I would rather go out to Hananvlei and come back of corpse." the words allude to a Barolong chief having been put over the tribe when the present chief's father was exiled to Hanansvlei where he died. His body was brought back to Disaneng to be buried.

Mpundu (I) (Field Card)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR058 (1952) , 2 page(s)
"May the Omwami go in peace, may he prosper and be with God." The Batwa are Pigmoids and the Cout singers were drawn from their ranks. In this instance the women were all wives of potters, pottery being one of the Twa crafts. The second song is a good example of organum singing with its incidental harmonies.

The Germans and Hitler are under the water I thought the war against Japan was over.' Snatches of news of great distant events frequently appear in African folk songs where they are interwoven with news of more local significance. Ndwala bells are forged out of iron and curved over into the shape of a pod with one side open. Small iron balls are inserted inside. The bells are strung onto strips of raw hide and tied around the shins and ankles.
