- Description: The song refers to the recruiting of the men of Ruanda-Urundi for work on the cooper mines of the Katanga Province in the south of the Congo Belge. The Union Miniere asked the Mwami of Ruanda for strong men for this work and when they arrived at the airfield they asked their leader which way they would travel. "It was not by land nor by water, he replied, but by air they would go." So they were taken from Usumbura to Elisabethville by air. Topical song
