- Description
- "The English and the Germans came and still come into our country. What so they want? We do not know them well. This song of ours comes from the Nyamwezi." A lovely chant sung before dancing, by a most decorative people. They sing also about their soilders who fought in the 1939-45 war, and how they went to the Middle East and Ceylon. The song is one of the typical sung legends or epics of the Gogo who are renowned for their compositions of this nature. In the first part the young composer and his friend sing an introduction and at 1m 30s after the start they introduce the chorus of men and women who are standing in line of dance three or four deep. The soilders line each phrase caling "Kanyi" when they want a phrase or stanza repeated. Nindo praise song
