Description / content note

Likembe songs such as this are the delight of the evening audiences in the huts at night. The subtle changes of rhythm enhance its otherwise simple theme. He re-tuned his instrument for this song as follows:- 800, 608, 488, 324, 276, 244, 400, 544, 656, 712, 364. (552) (648) (728). This scale was knocked slightly out of tune during playing. (See notes in brackets). There appears to be a note missing between 488 vs, and 400 vs. - unless the player deliberatly requred s hexatonic mode. Topical song wih Neikembe, Likembe.
