- An old song composed when the British first came to Rhodesia. 'Gwindingwindi' was their way of pronouncing 'England'. The drum was played by Esteri Shumba. The actual incident which gave rise to this song was the appearence of the Pinoneer Column marching across the Chibi District on its way up through Providential Pass to establish Fort Victoria and soon afterwards 'Fort' Salisbury in 1890. Historical song with 2 drums.
