- Description: This song with long opening recitative by the leader and the repeated use of the word "Mama", make it an unmistakable example of Luvale singing. The percussive accompaniment is interesting for its complexity and the fact that it seems to bear small direct relationship to the melody produced by the voices but appears to act as a rhythmic and complex background for the singers. Gachacha dance song with struck bottle, 2 pieces of metal and 1 small bell. (bicycle).
