  • Description: This praise, which both begins and ends with song, are frequently recited by men at parties. The subject of their adulation may be their host, their cattle or any subject gratifying their senses.

Nowadays woth no fighting to be done the praises have been extended to any gratification and particularly of the 'Pombe' banana beer.
