- Description: Although this and the recording is very thin, it represents three genuine styles of Chopi women's songs and has been included for that reason in spite of the poor tone quality of the recording. Chopi women have a musical life of their own, composing and singing their own songs without the assistance of the menfolk. They have a great variety of songs most of which reflect their own personal thoughts, their troubles and enjoyments, their case for their sons and daughters, and the stresses and strains of their daily lives. Lament for dead Chief Machatini.
