- Description
- The leader was a Lambya but the rest of his friends were Henga. The song was sung in the Lambya dialect of Tumbuka. The foreign influence of school music is clearly discerned in this song which no doubt had a folk origin but is now distorted by extraneous harmony. A simple European style of clapping. Chikweta dance for boys and girls with clapping
