Description / content note: The players friend sat beside him with another Ekembe on which he played one note by way of a rhythmic accompaniment as the second instrument was not peoperly in tune, and so they could not be played together. This policeman, it appears, would insist upon any man he arrested dancing before him to the tune of his Ekembe on their way to the police station. No one thought this to be an imposition and in fact both policeman and offender enjoyed the performances. While the third song was being played a man in the crowd was actually arrested by another member of the African Police and marched off. Muzeze song with Ekembe 10 note Likembe.
