- Description
- "It is a bad thing to have no husband. A man forced me to sleep with him. Then the people said I was bad woman!" The Gwetisa is a dance performed at parties or at any time they say, when people are gathered together. The 'echoed' style of singing is familiar to most of central Nyasaland and the celeste caused between the two voices appears as over-modulation on the recording. Gwesta dance song for men and women
