- Description
- "Sechomane, if I knew how to write, I would write to the Chief." The melody of this song suggests a similarity with songs from the Masai - Arusha region of Tanganyika. There may be no direct connection whatsoever; it is only the musical impact which suggests the comparison. People's dance with clapping.
