نبذة مختصرة : Note the way in which the three performers sing in organum. They are the 'town criers' who go around during the fast of Ramadhan calling the people to wake up for their midnight meal. The singers themselves, while singing Swahili belong to the Liba/Songe tribe. The chants were sung to the same tune. The size of the cylindrical drum wa 13" x 8". The size of the shallow drum was 11 1/4" x 3 1/2". Moslem chants (Wamusha Daku), with 1 metal cylindrical drum, laced, 1 metal frame drum, pegged (-14.91-), 1 basket rattle (-12.54-).
