  • Description: "You Lomwe man, go away from me! Let another come and marry me especially a man who wears an elastic belt." The significance of the elsatic belt was not explained, except to say that only 'rich' men could afford elastic. The song is about a certain Lomwe man, her husband, who, she sings is very poor and dressed only in rags which fall to pieces if you try to sew them up on the sewing machine. "Let me go and marry another man who does not have so many patches on his trousers which break the sewing machine." During the item the sound of the winnowing of bran from the corn in a sieve can be heard. Pounding song with pestle and mortar.
