- Description
- Note the interesting change in the middle of the song. "O Mother! She is wearing a dog's skin blanket. The people despise her. They want me in the cool places, where the Dhlamini live. I am not a Zulu. I am a 'Portuguese'. I, Maboshabane, speak. I speak with a sore heart. I tell you, I am suffering from a stomach-ache. Come and cure me." The singer could not explain the reference to being a 'Portuguese'. African tribesmen who come from the Portuguese territory of Mozambique often refer to themselves as 'Portuguese', i.e. a citizen of Portuguese territory. Mathuela diviner's song with small drum (-14.03-), frame drum (-14.92-) and clapping (-12.03-).
