- Description
- This is the Njari version of the famous "Ilanga la Shona" which became so popular when first sung in Bulawayo in about 1946. Several versions in different languages have appeared since then. The original was sung to the guitar and this setting to the traditional instrument is particularly interesting. The Karanga or 'Shona', as opposed to the Nguni speaking Ndebele of the South west of the country, do not use the letter 'L' but change it to 'R'. Topical song ith Njari (Mbira).
