The high price of sisal this year (1950) has created a demand and the local Sukuma have been cutting their sisal hedges and getting the fibre for sale to Indian buyers. A few days after this song was sung an order had to be issued by the authorities forbidding, temporarily, the buying of sisal as the Sukuma were neglecting to harvest both their grain and cotton crops which were being left to spoil in the fields. There is a sound fo drums in the distance at the beginning of the song. Busatsi dance song form men and women.
