Description: Composed for the opening of a new mission. Sung in praise of a hill on which a new church was built. The Tutsi singers are all members of a local club for evolues (clerks) etc. called 'La Jeuness du Ruanda'-the youth of Ruanda (Rwanda). The melody is clearly of foreign origin yet a certain indigenous quality remains. Praise song
