Description / content note
-
I want to have a son. He (the husband) is still at the other house, he has not yet come. What shall I do?" Note that uneven beat of the pestles to match the rhythm, one beat being slightly faster and out of the usual strict tempo. The singer indicates that she wants a baby but that the husband is impotent and unable to giver her one. What is more he is not slepping in her hut but in the other wife's hut. So what can she do to get her child?. Pounding song with pestle and mortar.
