Description / content note
-
These two versions of the same flute were recorded by Mulobo Maswa in September 1950 and again in June 1952. He has been the offical flute player to the royal house of the Kyabazinga of the Soga people, ever since he was a young boy. The first version was recorded after midnight under a starlit sky, and in the second version he was accompanied by two old friends on the drum. The audience sitting around him had to join in as well. The tune "Akantaiba" is taken from a song said to be a century or two old which says, "If your wife is rude to you, she loves another. If your servant is rude to you, he wants to leave you." Flute tune with Ndele, end blown, notched and 4 holed flute (14.2-).
