Description: Come here and I will give you more land. The Chief is pleased with the work of his headman.' Four men and women were playing the one drum, each beating out his own rhythm on his quarter of the membrane. Strangely enough this did not deaden the sound as one might have expected. Before the drum maker closes up his laced drum he places a small stone inside. This they call 'Moyo wengoma,' the drum's heart. It does not serve any musical purpose but is found in every drum in the region.
