- Description: 'I have no mother. No matter what I do, whether I pray or whatever I do, I am alone." The singer is a wandering performer who earns his living by singing popular songs of his own composition which give him plenty of scope to introduce local gossip between verses. He is assisted by 2 or 3 friends who share his bohemian life wandering from compound to compound along the Copperbelt. His songs, though often rhythmic, are frequently based upon the slightest of melodies as in this case. This song is sung partly in the local Lamba language - Although Tsotsi Kasumali himself is an Aushi. Lament with guitar and bottle.

- Description: "The song we are going to sing you is so interesting that you will even leave your supper to come and listen to us even the police with their wives and children have left their duties just to come and hear. The Lamba people are making fun of us and saying we Aushi/Lumbo have no copper mine. But Lake Bengwelu is our mine because wheras you Lamba, you get all your wealth from the mines, we get it from our fish. In place of the jack hammers we have a net. The miners use a rock drilling machine underground, and we use a Mukwano net." Kalela dance song.
