- Description: The Lala often take the work of tree-felling for others, as they are specially good at it. "I began felling trees in my youth, and did not have a son-in-law to help me (i.e. he had no daughter to be married). So I took my axe and did the work alone. People belonging to the "Sand" clan (totem) are clever, because they choose a specially large tree and worship there, considering it to be a great work of God." "There are women who despise those men who stay at home in the country, so let me go to the town to marry a wiser man." The tribe being matrilineal inherits through the female side. A son-in-law has to assist his wife's family-hence the reference to "no son-in-law to help him." Self-delectative song with Kankowele mbira, fan-shaped, with external resonator
