- Description
- "John Otwal, so the singer states, had helped him when he had no transport from Kisumu to his homw and, in addition, had presented him with 100 shillings as a token of affection and esteem. He wanted all the people to know what a good friend he was. The intrusion of the foreign instrument, the accordion has undoubtedly modified the original folk idiom but to what extent it has affected the style of song is not yet known. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).
