- Description
- "We should eat together, but that does not mean we should share the same woman." The leader was dressed up in his dancing kit, with feather head dress, red ochre on the face and rag dress. The singers were workers on the Mwadui diamond mines, recruited locally. The song features a character whom they call Sajeni Meja (Sergeant Major) no doubt on account of the fact that several of them served for a while in the K.A.R., the Kings' African Rifles. During the singing they call out the familiar cry used by the soilders of the King's African Rifles. The moral problems of the disintegrated family and tribal life present themselves at every turn and especially in the towns or industrial areas where large bodies of men are attracted to work. Hiyari ya moyo dance song for men and women, with metal cylindrical drum, and conical pegged drum and bells.
