- Description
- The song reflects a party of boys who are camping out beside the lake, sleeping out in the open air. They sing about their cassava which they are cooking and the lake fish which they have caught and prepared and handing it around, in fact a typical boy's party. Phuinu-uwepe is cassava which has been soaked in water for a long time. Topical song.
