- Description
- Here the words are in a mixture of Bemba and Lamba. "The child grows up but to die. Kazembe, the present chief, has now died; Kabumbo, the chief is also dead." Kazembe XV who recently became paramount chief of the Luunda died recently after only a short period as head of his tribe. The singer cogitates upon the responsibilities of a tribal chief which seem to drive him to a premature grave. Wistful song with guitar and Bottle.
