The singer was a cycle repairer by trade, claimed to belong to the Njeudura age grade (his own age at the time being about 22 years in 1952). He, like other Kikuyu who buy these expensive accordians uses it as a noise maker rather than a melodic or harmonic accompaniment. As with the guitar players they rarely change key. These to performances were remarkable for the understanding between the singer and his accompanist on the 'iron'. The latter was deafening to observers nearby, but apparently enthralling to the performers. Kikuyu musicians appear to be able to tolerate an intensity of sound far beyond the normal, in fact bordering on the threshold of pain in the ears. For the recording the man with his piece of iron and box had to be placed a considerable distance from the microphone.

a, b & c) '1 his IS the first recording ever to be published of a complete Ngodo of a Chopi 'Timbila orchestra. The orchestra featured is the senior orchestra of the district, although not that of the Paramount Chief. Wani Zavala. The leader Komukomu, has been art outstanding xylophone player and composer for the past 20 years. This recording represents his orchestral dance for the year 1955. As new tunes are composed they are added to or substituted for the older movement. The Ngodo is introduced by 3 orchestral items, in which the virtuosity of the players of the 'Timbila xylophones is heard to good effect. It is the ambition of each orchestral leader to compose excellent introductions to his own village dance. There are no lyrics set to these Msitso. d) Ngeniso: The Entry of the Dancers, is the first movement introducing the dancers when they file onto the dance floor and take up their position in line facing the orchestra. e) Ndano: The Call, is marked by an opening cry by the dancers who now throw themselves into the performance in earnest. f) Mchuio : is considered to be the main athletic dance of the Ngodo performed while the dancers are still fresh. It is a most vital and lively dance. g) Chlbudo: The Coming out
