"Khanye kude wawula niudawaze mashanga. Mluwetela wena minda twaze mwana warila." "Bright light (from afar) they mean you, Mind ¡waz ©, worrysome. Keep cool, you Mind ¡waz ©, the child is crying." The belief in magic and in the alleged power of one person to cause harm to another is growing, they said, in their district. The possibility of assaulting even the chief is not ruled out, although they explained he was a sufficiently strong personality to resist magical force.

Igiterane (Track)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR058 , 3 mins
A song to praise chiefs and notables. The chiefs in this country are all Hamitic Tutsi, whose height (generally between 6 and 7 foot tall) is in great contrast to the short pigmoid Twa whom they have ruled for over five centuries. The modality of this song and the complex pattern of the clapping are both notable.
