- Description
- The literal translation was:- "Alive, but he still calls my name." which means:- "I am alive but still in the favour of the Kabaka. He still asks me to play for him." This is a very old song with a rather sinister implication as the Kabakas (Kings) of old were inclined to put to death those who displeased them and particularly musicians who failed to play well. Historic song with 1 tall cylindrical pinned drum, 1 large conical laced drum and hand clapping (-12.03-).
