- Description
- This is said to be in part, an old traditional song of the women of his home district. "My wife is called Muchumwase and when people are angry with me I say nothing. Out of the many children in my family, there are only one or two who are of any value. My father's heart has wings, because he only cares for his own favourite among the children." Gwerure appears to be the title of a traditional tune which is well-known in the district and cannot be translated. There are many such names for old tunes, most of which have new recitative words set to their accompaniment with each generation of performers on the mbira. Topical song with mbira dza waNdau with bell, external resonator and 2 manuals.
