- Description: "A long time ago there was a man with a gunwho could not shoot and always missed." The failure of this hunter to bring home the meat by continually missing his quarry has been perpetuated in this song although the name of the hunter concerned has long since been forgotten. The two drums were barrel shaped, weighted, and with mirlitons (locallly called Mvema). Chitsukulumwe dance with 2 horizontal double ended barrel drums, rattles and clapping.
