- Description
- "People should not visit their friends without cause as Mgelimembe does." It appears this man Mgelimembe was always turning up at his friend's houses when it would have been better had he stayed away. This is only part of the musical ruminations of the song. The players eighteen year old son sits beside his father and provides the rhythmic tapping with his fingernails on the zithers large gourd resonator. Topical song, with Ligombo 6 string trough zither and rhythmic tapping.
