- Description: "I am the best singer and my songs are liked by many people. I will compose new songs which will defeat others in the same way that the King (King George VI) defeated Hitler." The Gogo people have long imitated their neighbours the Masai and have copied many customs, particularly in cosmetics and coiffure. The group singing this song was more colourful than most Bantu, the women wearing bright coloured clothes and beads, the men smeared with red ochre and fat. Nindo praise song.
