Music/P1 24 DBE/November 2024 NSC – Marking Guidelines QUESTION 10 Maskanda guitarists are known to be technically advanced as well as being extremely competitive even though they are rarely formally trained as musicians or guitar players. In an essay, briefly discuss maskanda and refer to the guitar techniques and tuning systems associated with this style of music. Name ONE maskanda song and the artist associated with it. You will be credited for the logical presentation of facts and the structure of the essay. Answer: Example of an introduction Maskanda is a developing amaZulu music where the main guitarist leads with a personalised artistic expression as part of the maskanda band. Description • The word maskanda refers to neo-traditional amaZulu instrumental music. • Maskanda originated from a rural amaZulu musical tradition developed from amahubo (amaZulu traditional ceremonial music) and amaZulu bow music. 2 marks Guitar techniques • Maskanda bands have an acoustic guitarist who plays a unique rhythmic picking pattern. • Guitars are usually steel-stringed to produce a more percussive sound. • Ikati (plectrum) may be used for playing the guitar producing the typical percussive sound. • The guitarist leads the entire band and the band needs to adhere to the guitarist’s tuning system. • Ukupika/ukunanza and ukuvamba are used: o Ukupika is the picking of guitar strings with fingers, where the thumb plays amadoda (lower strings), and the other fingers on the right hand (mainly the index finger) play a melody on amantombazane (upper strings). o Ukuvamba: The strumming of chords percussively with plectrum. Any FIVE Tuning systems • The maskanda guitar style is notable for its specific guitar tuning. • True maskanda guitarists are fiercely protective of their specific tuning, as this forms a significant part of identifying the band/guitarist. • To play the maskanda guitar or the song of another maskanda guitarist, you would need to first retune the guitar and then work out all of the licks and riff phrasing combinations that make up the melody or rhythm. • isiZulu style is the standard/usual maskanda guitar tuning, and in this style the strings are tuned to EADGBD. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Music/P1 25 DBE/November 2024 NSC – Marking Guidelines • Other alternative tuning styles are found amongst the maskandi, e.g.: o Isishameni style is usually played for the isishameni dance. Here the guitar strings are tuned to DADABD. o Isichunu style is the same as the isishameni style with the strings tuned to DADABD. o Isigeyane style uses the isiZulu style but also includes different rhythmic patterns. o Isimandolini style uses EBBC#F#G# to imitate the polyphonic sounds of old traditional instruments like umgubhe (Amazulu bow). Any THREE Song and artist • Kuke Kwagijim’ Iveni by Mfaz’ Omnyama • Umama by Inkunz’ Emdaka Any ONE song with the correct performing artist Example of a conclusion The sound of maskanda is deeply connected to the lead guitarist as he weaves his blend of tuning and techniques to establish a personal maskanda sound. The essay will be marked according to the criteria below.
