Description / content note
-
The player is an accomplished performer, he works for the Fort Victoria Municipality on the local roads with the grader. This song is the best known and popular in the Sipangabera district of Portuguese East Africa. It is, they say the first of all songs in the region. The word 'Amasewe' means 'mother-in-law' and the gist of the song is that a certain young man went to a nearby village where he got himself a wife and his mother-in-law kept on remarking how handsome he was. Self delectative song with mbira dzawaNdau.
