- Description: This song shows an adaptation of Nyamwezi African words to an Arab foreign tune. The distortions of Bantu speech tones appear to be less pronounced than in similar adaptations of local words to European tunes. The Nyamwezi peoples were for centuries closely associated with Arab traders and were the carriers of their trade goods into the interior from Bagamoyo on the coast to the lake at Ujiji. They also acted as carriers for most of the famous East African explorers including Livingstone and Stanely. Love song, with one Udi, Arab guitar, one Mandoline and one Tambourine drum (-14.91-).
