Description: "Cut down the trees at Makonge farm." This farm was originally the property of a German farmer. The singer urges his friends to co-operate in this job of cutting the trees. It was also a gesture to retrieve the land from foreign occupation as they say that 'the one who plants trees owns the land'. Topical song with laced conical drum and clapping.
