- Description: "If you have no child, it is no good. Other women have children, they fill the village. There are many men here standing in the queues for going to Johannesburg. You, my wife, you do not want to eat porridge, you want rice. There is no rice here, because I am poor. Go to the rich where they can afford rice. So she went to a rich man to get her rice, but now she gets no clothes, no shoes, and at leas, no food. One of four topical songs with guitar.

- Description: "Hey, child-first finish your digging. The mysteries have been listening for me. Mistakes in dancing do not carry as far as home. Listen to Mutanda drum, but first finish your grinding." Greeting child of the Mudzatsa Tree. There is a double meaning in ngoma mutanda. In the first instance it means a 'mystery or 'magic' - an unknown force, and in the second the plain literal translation of the 'Mutanda drum', a conical hollow wooden drum made of Mutanda wood. "Child of Mudzatsa Tree", refers to the eerie noise of the cracking beanpods of this tree, especially at night, and a person called by this name is only half a creature, a sprite or gnome. Three topical songs with mbira dza WaNdau and deze resonator.
