- Description: "Although you frighten me with your stick, I will fight you when you are drunk." Mwanza is about the furthest limit of his geopraphical knowledge and he would therefore follow her to 'the ends of the earth'. It is the lake port at the south of the Lake Victoria about four hundred miles from Dar-es-Salaam where this item was composed and sung. The soloist, Idi, is a never ending source of enjoyment to his friends with a perfect set of mine gestures with which to illustrate the words he sings. Selemani's speech is a liberal mixture of Nyamwezi and Swahili. He leads these lively songs sung by a very lively company of Nyamwezi singers who bring out many surprises during their amusing performances. Humorous song with goblet drum, pegged and footed, unaccompanied.
