- Description
- The song is sung partly in Sena and partly in Mangyanja. The drummer sitting on the ground with his drum on his thighs moves the drum on and off his chest by raising and lowering the tips of his feet with heels on the ground. This has the necessary tonal effect when moving the drum half an inch or so only. The singer, George Zongoloti is singing about his troubles. If he wants to go to Southern Rhodesia he has to come Chief Tingami for a pass. If he wants to fish, another pass. Even to make a canoe, he needs a pass. Now he is going back to Portuguese territory over the border because there you can do what you like without a single pass, just what you like! Topical song with Nthikwi drum.
