Description: "The Kanyoka captured the chief of the Kasai people on the other side of the river, cut off his head, put it in a pot of beer and drank the beer." It is not certain from the context to which tribal wars this incident refers, if any. It may well be a form of boasting or braggadocio. Topical song with 2 guitars, 3 basket rattles and 1 bottle.
