	Donald Fraser & Ngoni Church
		Several Ngoni hymns are also included in the hymnbook of the Blantyre synod of the Church of Central Africa, Presbyterian, and in various English anthologies of Africa hymns published in Britain and the United States.
		The existence of a strong Ngoni tradition of musical composition, its adaptation by the Ngoni to Christian hymnology, and Fraser's sympathetic encouragement of this trend, all helped to integrate Christianity into the mainstream of Ngoni life, and to some extent helped to preserve the Ngoni language as a medium of ritual and worship.
		That the Ngoni were able to preserve a distinctive and valid culture, while turning in large numbers to Christianity, was due mainly to their own inherent strength and cohesion, but partly also to the sympathetic approach of Fraser.

	Patrick Soluri - Ngoni Program Notes
		A Ngoni is a stringed musical instrument like a lyre, which was indigenous to an ancient western African city-state called Segu.
		These stories with which I am interested, are the eternal yet contemporary issues that confront all people, including the Djeli from ancient Segu - the awe and wonder of creation, the cycles of death, life and rebirth and the struggles and evolution of the individual by them self and within their group.
		These stories are incorporated into a piece of seven small movements (or stories) that are separated by the music of the Ngoni, as played by a solo harp and a solo dancer.

	Ngoni
		They continued exercising their authority with such disregard and contempt for existing local structures and traditions and with such brutality that discontent was brewing anew and in 1902 a movement against forced labour for a cotton scheme rejected by the local population started along the Rufiji.
		Known as the Maji Maji war with the main brunt borne by the Ngonis, this was a merciless rebellion and by far the bloodiest in Tanganyika.
		The Ngoni were feared all over the country and they exercised power from Lake Nyasa to the Indian Ocean and from the North of Hehe country to the Southern Yao.

	The ngoni, a plucked lute from West Africa
		Ngoni is the Bambara name for an ancient traditional lute found throughout West Africa.
		For this reason musicologists classify the ngoni as a "internal spike lute." The ngoni's strings (which are made of thin fishing line like the kora) are lashed to the neck with movable strips of leather, and then fed over a fan-shaped bridge at the far end of the body.
		This feature, coupled with the fact that the ngoni's body is a drum rather than a box, provides strong evidence that the ngoni is the African ancestor of the banjo.

	~ZAMBIA~
		Interestingly enough however, it is one of the few countries in Africa with very little tribal animosity, and the existence of so many tribes has proved less of a political problem than in many other African states.
		The Main tribes are the Lozi, the Bemba, the Ngoni, the Tonga, the Luvale and the Kaonde.
		With the break up of their military system, the power of the Ngoni declined and in the East today, the traces of Ngoni ascendancy are few.
