- Description
- Some young men came to see the chief who asked each in turn how their homes were. They said they were all alright except for Mdoka who had been stung by a bee on his lips. This gave rise to a song about his misfortune. The others also told the chief their stories including one about the fish they were catching and he sang a canoe song "Kanye Kanye madoda, Kanye kanye haiye." 'A' before a name is the local honorific equivalent of Mister. Story song with clapping.
