- Description
- The singers explained "The 'Hanzi bomu bomu' song is our latest composition which is being sung all over the country. Please make sure you learn how to sing it." "Hanzi bomu bomu" means 'Hand bombs' or 'hand grenades.' This refers to the 1939-45 war. Many of the singers were in the K. A. R. (Kings African Rifles) but they had only a distant and hazy idea of the effect of explosives. Muganda dance with Malipenga singing horns (-11.13-) and 2 bass drums
