- Description: This is said to be the best song ever composed by Sancho Nyamchungele. The Chopi of Zandamela consider this song excellent both in melody and lyric. It refers to the scattering of Chopi to the mines and other places away from their country when they go off to work. When they sing their song they feel deeply moved by both words and music, they say. The lyric is original, but the melody is very like one of the Mzeno composed by Komukomu of Banguza's village. Orchestral dance with 28 Timbila xylophones.
