- Description
- "Kaisare, the King of the Jews, he crucified Jesus, he was not afraid of death, he was only afraid of getting old." The men grunt as in Arab songs and this feature may well be residuum from Arab days when they occupied the country around lake Nyasa and traded in slaves. Who Kaisare may be is not clear. Caiphas the high priest perhaps or 'Kaiser' the King. The singers could not elucidate the point. Wedding song.
