- The leader Habanyama, who also played one of the drums, was Chief Councillor to the Gwembe Native Authorities Board and an official of the treasury. The dance song is based upon a woman's song for carrying her baby on her back. The song is made up as the dance proceeds with no set words except the refrain "E-we-we-we babule", so the singer maintained. Chiyema party song for men and women with 2 goblet and I cylindrical drum, hand beaten and 1 Kayanda tin rattle.
