- Description
- Herd boys are one of Africa's sources of original songs. The life of thee youngsters is full of the intimate knowledge of creatures and their ways. The discomforts of nature and the constant search for food or sweet things. A herd boy's education is second to none at that tender age and the pleasures are never forgotten. They use a well known proverb concerning their food, referring to their work for other people's cattle. "The one who cooks does not eat the food." "We just take care of the cattle, but they belong to other people. The one who cooks does not eat the food. Snakes glide through the meadows, and go into the forests." Herd boy song.
