Description: The cross rhythm of this song is typical, while the melodic formula of the lyric is one which has come up to N. Rhodesia from the south where it originated eight years ago in a song called "Vura matambo." from the Muzezuru tribe in S. Rhodesia. This demonstrates the persistence of the oral folk evolution of songs, now accelerated and more widely distributed by means of phonograhic recording. In the ordinary course of events, this tune would never have moved so far from its original home some 600 and 700 miles away. Morality song with guitar and bottle.

Description: "I was handcuffed at Kasama by the police, sat down and was taken to the Boma, saying; "I did nothing wrong." But it appears that when he was charged, he said he was guilty and blamed his uncle's wife. She came to give evidence on his behalf but she did not get him off. So he said: "You are the one who must get me off." Bust she did not do so." "You are my relative, you must send me home." In this outburst one can see the childlike faith in the blood relationships eben to the point of working miracles.
