- Description
- "So many people have been born, so many people have died. Now all my folk are finished. So who will keep me company when I die?" This song with its antiphonal call and answer is typical of the style of the majority of folk songs of the Chokwe heard on the mines. This kind of performance is most difficult to record effectively for several reasons. Chianda dance song woth Sangu rattles, leg rattles held in the hand and gourds on sticks
