- Description
- A certain wizard, so the story goes, once caught a secretary bird and brought it into his house alive in order to use it for magical purposes and for killing other people. Now, this man soon died and left this secretary birf behind. So he sings this song to mock who use magic because they will surely die, just the same. :There are foolish men who leave their families unprovided for while they go off with prostitutes." "There is sadness which envelopes a child when its parents die, and a sadness also which envelopes a parent when its child dies." Self-delectative song with Kankowele fan-shaped mbira, mbira with external resonator.
