Description: This song has no words, but anyone may put in interjections if he wishes. At one point a man praises the composer of this song. and later there are cries of encouragement- "Go on" - "Sing well" - "Make it a good song", and so on.- They were very pleased on hearing the closing shouts of approval when it was played back to them. Old people's song with clapping.
