- Description
- Chaminuka is the name given to a whole line of religious prophets who for many generations led the spiritual life and thoughts of the Karanga people. One of the Chaminuka prophets is said to have smitten the waters of the Zambezi so that the river parted. The Karanga people came over dry foot. His soul, they say, first flew across the river in the form of a dove. Towards the end of the song, the singer breaks into the local patois, representing a conversation between him and a 'Mujoni'. a policeman on a horse. Humorous song with Njari (Mbira).
