Description: "I will praise you until your heart is broken like a bone. Keep your promise and come with me. When I sing your praise do not wrinkle your face like that." He strains the sisal bow by means of thumb pressure. Note how apprently out of tune he is with his instrument, which he appears to use as rhythmic ground only. Love song with Mbebe 1 sring, bowed lute.
