- Description
- "The women of Dowa desire very much to drink beer. Their work indeed is to drink beer. The women of Dowa, their work is to sell flour and flat cakes. And when they get home their marriage is broken. The women of Msoci, their work is to love the market place. And they was on Saturday only. I, Pearson Kapeni have troubles in the country of Dowa. This country hates me, why does it hate me? The reference to washing on Saturday is appreciated when one remembers that Saturday is market day in Dowa when the women put on their best clothes. The song struck home as it was true. Topical song with guitar.
