Their Mijikenda sound is called Zaire Ngoma, and their main percussive instruments are a set of homemade Mbumbumbu drums &#8211; playfully called the Man, Woman and Children, due to their difference in size and sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Their lyrics cover a wide range of topics, from social teachings to songs of praise to dirges &#8211; all inspired by their life as fisher-folk and written to be performed for their neighbours and fellow clansmen drinking palm wine after a long day of work. This is Zaire Ngoma 1, their debut release on Music From East Africa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">All songs on this first release of a series have been recorded right in their home village Saruni (named after Mzee&#8217;s father himself). Over traditional Giriama percussion, the Saruni family showcases their intricate calls and responses across three generations on this undiluted and original record.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Msaga Pore Zaire Ngoma (MfEA Recording Session at Saruni Village\/ Kenya)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F2YkRjLbp9A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
