Abafazi pandle (Track)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR062
Drinking parties in this region were usually held inside the huts as there is plenty of wind over the open downs, especially near the sea. The song calls on the women to leave the hut to the men, as they pass the beer around and sing their drinking songs.

Legends in this part of Africa, around the great lakes are often told to a rippling instrumental accompaniment especially to the trough zither. This song refers to the death of a certain Saza chief called Daudi. Rumour has it that after he was buried certain men (said to be sorcerers) went to the grave to dig him up. But just at that moment it began to rain and they disagreed so violently that they failed in their purpose and went away. The cries in the background from one of the spectators, they said, had nothing to do with the legend. The narrator unfortunately had a very husky voice.

A drum is lying on its side - it has been hollowed out from a log and has tuning pegs wedged into twine that is wrapped around the side to keep the skin membrane in place and tuned. Singlai is wearing a red sun hat and a floral patterned shirt. The shelters are made from branches that are bent into arcs to form a framework that is covered with leaves.
