- Description: The slit drum is called mutumba (the canoe) and the cylindrical drum is Nguma. This group is situated between the Lunda and the Luba. A notably fierce and savage people. They come from the extreme south of the Kasai-near the Angola border. This dance was (in the old days) danced with a slave in the midst. At the final "Ho" (characteristic of the dance) the slave's head was severed at a single blow. The 3 xylophones were propped up at sn angle of about 45 degrees by small forked sticks. The resonators were either gourds or lengths of bamboo with open mirliton. The bamboo resonators were palstered with mud, presumably to stop their cracking. Each note was attached to the frame with a simple cord, but prevented from slipping by a second string attached near the node and made fast onto the frame. The insulating material on the frame was a bundle of long grass in each case. The three xylophones were called:- Dujimba devase. " dwapakadie. " dwa mukuma. Maza dance for men and women with 1 slit drum (canoe), 1 weighted cylindrical drum (Nguma), open hand beaten and 3 xylophones.
