Description: This is a lament at parting with friends, in which the English word 'Sorry' (now adopted as their own by Kipsigis) predominates. As one of them said "It is a misery giving song". The effect of the song was rather spoiled by one of the young men who took it upon himself to show off during the recording. Lament with Chepkong 6 string bowl lyre, laced.
