- Description: The button accordian has recently (1952) made its appearance in this area and largely on account of its ease of playing and the great amount of sound emitted, it has become very popular as an accompanying instrument. Most players are content to use only the simplest chords and as few notes as possible regardless of the melody of the song which the instrument accompanies rhythmically. For the recording the man with his piece of iron and box had to be placed a considerable distance from the microphone. Mamboko dance with accordian and struck iron (-12.16-).
