- Description
- 'Samandenga' or 'Samanyemba' frequently occurs in S.Rhodesian songs. In this case Samandenga is a fine dancer, but in many other songs, his name indicates that there has been some deceit or falsehood spread abroad and may be associated with a lament. Who the original Samandenga may have been is not known. The singer relates his experiences, not necessarily related to each other. He mentions the women pounding grain accompanied by his Mbira. "Petros Mukumba has gone because he was despised. They agreed with me, but I did not reply." And so on. Self-delectative song with Mbira dza waNdau with 3 manuals and bell.
