Description: The rhythm was tapped out by a knife on the Mbira. Sung in organum by 3 women and 3 men. The principal man in the group wagged his tongue whilst he mimed the movements of the dance, during the playback. This was his own peculiar contribution and not generally done. This is a typical and highly repetitive Luvale song demonstrating their distinctive manner of singing in organum. Farewell song, with Likembe Mbira 8 notes
