Description: Luwe was the name of a certain man who had no children. He had married a woman who bore him no babes. The pre-occupation in the African mind with the question of offspring is frequently the subject of songs. The 'A' before the proper name is the equivalent of the English 'Mr.' (Mister). Pounding song with mortar and two pestles
