- Description: "There was a certain a certain woman sitting under a tree who said that ever if her husband chased her away she could still take shelter beneath the tree." It looks as if the woman had the better of the affair in the end. The style of singing, so typically Luvale, appears to be most casual and impromptu were it not for the clear understanding between the performers. Kukina and Wangoma dance song
