- Description
- This song, used as a lullaby, is in praise of the present Omwami Mutara's grand mother, and recounts her life, her childhood and girlhood, through its various stages till her death. She was both good and beautiful, say the singers. The queen mother's influence at the courts of the Mwami used to be considerable and was only broken by the Beligian authorities when this lady was banished to Kainembe near lake Kivu in 1931, together with her son Musenga Yushi V who was deposed and banished with her. Praise song
