- Description
- The song is that of a man wo quits his village with no hope of ever seeing again. It may also - it appears - express the feelings of a woman whose husband has sent her away. Lament with 3 singing gourds (Chipuri), 1 basket rattle (-12.54-), 1 bottle (-12.17-) and hand clapping (-12.03-).
