The clarity both of his singing and playing on the harp is delightful. Song with horizontal, arched, 8 stringed harp.

- Description: It appears that the Ganda, like the English, use a great number of euphemisms for the natural human functions. This song might be the equivalent of the famous music hall song "A little bit of what you fancy does you good." The Chief himself, his ladies and the audience thoroughly approved the sentiment expressed by the singer. Topical song, with two conical drums and hand clapping, one drum 34" x 9", one 19" x 15 1/2".
