- Description
- This singer is blind and is well known for his songs all over the district. In spite of his blindness he makes his own Bangwe zither himself. He was born in 1902 and after the age of 5 was blind. He is now 48 years old (1950). The words and the title of this song are intended to be in English but are hardly recognisable as such. His zither was made of 8 papyrus stalks firmly tied together in a raft, with a gourd resonator into which the far end of the zither is placed. Topical song with Bangwe raft zither, 7 strings
