Description: Some words are in Ngoni and some in the local Chewa. The apparent meaning of the words refers to some old dispute about a chieftsmanship, the false chief having died and the rightful chief re-instated. The player was very old and it seems his song refers to some event in past history of his early days or even before. Ngoma dance with Kalimba Mbira.
