- Description
- Stefano was a policeman. Festo was arrested by him for being in illegal possession of a rifle and he served three months in gaol. Festo bears a grudge against the policeman and made up this song about him. Since poaching elephants for their ivory is a big racket in this district, the loss of a rifle would rankle in the mind of a happy law breaker. Incidentally, the policeman was given, they say, a reward of 400 shillings for arresting the man. Igulya dance song, with ankle gourd rattles and clapping.
