- Description
- The meaning of the song is not clear. The singer claims that some of the words of the song were in Tumbuka/Henga. The Kubu bow is a simple tall bow (56 inches) held vertically and strained near the lower end, the main segment of the string being 40 inches long. It has a gourd resonator. The player struck the long segment only, stopping it with the point of his first finger and with his thumb. Self delectative song with musical bow.
