- Description
- The solo singer singing in falsetto praises his country and many of its desirable places. He mentions among others the administrative centre at Kericho, some 25 miles away, which he says is ;full of words' referring to the information service supplied to the country by the office of the district commissioner. This wishbone shaped frame lyre is held onto the top of an empty 4 gallon parafin tin. At the end of his song the lyre slipped off its resonator. Praise song with Kibugandet 5 string wish bone lyre (-10.6405 x 5-) resonated on a parafing tin.
