Folklore, 1972
ZANDE string figures are called akandago and they are said to be a very old Mbomu game (Ambomu nana tu e). Those recorded in this article were recorded by me over forty years ago among the Azande of the Sudan. It is almost as long ago since I taught them to my old friend the late Professor R. M.

Lagae with a French translation, which was made for purposes of gramniatical analysis and instruction and would probably be difficult to follow for someone who

Africa, 1933

The pact is one of mutual assistance and is backed by powerful sanctions. It may bind only the two participants to certain obligations, or it may also involve the social groups of which they are members.

African Music: Journal of the African Music Society, 1965
The physical part of this study is very interesting, on the way in which the instrument kundi can be made. I did not have either the patience or the time to dedicate myself to such study.
