Klaus Wachsmann Uganda Field Recordings C4/48 Item notes : Wachsmann's original recording no.: 54.531. From available documentation: Namwirema is a name belonging to Bwayo's clan - a celebrating song. Performer notes : From available documentation: Group of youths dancing and stamping their feet. From Peter Cooke: The lead performer here is probably Namwiremi so this song could be self-praise. His and his co-players' flutes are known as khimilele [sing. khumulele). The notch is rectangular rather than V-shaped as with many notched flutes and each flute has only two fingerholes. The players insert their notes in between their singing of short phrases. They were/are played in pairs, especially at weddings with the two musicians combining their flute notes in complex hockets. Each flute has only two fingerholes. For other examples search for Namwiremi in Peter Cooke's collection on this website. 1954-10-13 Buluceke, Uganda Gishu [Lugisu (Gishu): dialect of Masaba] sound unidentified (2 flutes) Wachsmann, Klaus, 1907-1984 00:29:46 48000 24 00:02:00 48000 24
