- Description
- The sun and the moon are contrasted as lovers. The son returns to his mother if he is unsucceful in love and the mother sees in the hooting of the owls the omen of death to come. The player Yelele Lungu is one of two blind muscians in the Petauke district. Blind from birth he has developed an unusual degree of petic imagery. He had bever seen either the sun or the moon and his poetry consequently reflected a blind man's conception of natural phenomena. Unfortunately owing to technical difficulties both his recordings on this disc are poor, but his poetry warranted their inclusion. Love song, with Kalimba of 10 notes
