Description
The greater African chiefs would, in the old days, always have their court musicians to perform special functions, one of which was to play early in the morning to waken the Chief's household. This duty was performed in the past by the Ntimbo drummers for the Mukama of Bunyoro. ... The little drums, with membranes of iguana, water lizard, skin are most musical and respond to every finesse of fingering. They are traditionally associated with the royal songs of Bunyoro. This song refers to a previous Mukama of Bunyoro, Kyebambi, who, they say, was much loved by his people.
