Description
"Yotamu wanted the chief to imprison me." Note in the second song how the player sings, not in unison with his instrument, but in parallel with it. Tuning:— 792, 720, 592, 536, 476, 456, 396, 360, 296, 228. The player learnt his playing from a Nshenga at Fort Jameson called Jeremia Phiri in 1931. The apparent over-modulation of the voice seems to be caused by the vibration of the mirliton buzzer.
