- Description
- The old chief Mumia would not allow to mention the name of the head of the other branch of the family, Sakwa's family is the senior and should provide the paramount chief. The Wanga are said to have fought their way into their present home all the way from Tiriki. This Litungu lyre, like the Indungili is also played upright when the player is seated on the ground. Shundu and Wamukoya were brothers who had separate kingdoms among Wanga, one in the east and the other in the north of the country. Shundu was the father of the great chief Mumia. The song recalls their tribal fighting and feuds. Historic feud songs, with Litungu 8 string lyre, Isendeche leg bells (-12.55-), inverted bowl (-12.151-), side blow horn (-11.122-).
