- Description
- "Joni Meka promised to marry Mary-and married her." The bottle rhythm so common in south central Africa opens this song set off against a cross rhythm on the piece of metal. The organum singing of the chorus, in antiphony with the leader is unmistakeably Luvale in structure and tone. It is not a kind of music which tribes other than Luvale either appreciate or imitates. Gachacha dance song with struck bottle, 2 pieces of metal and 1 small bell. (bicycle).
