Description / content note: "I supposed you would come back from your journey singing as you came along the path. But you have gone for good." A woman is being justifyably caustic about her husband who is going away on a journey presumably leaving her to do all the work. Pairs of singers sing alternately, the second pair repeating what the first initiated. Chitsukulumwe dance with rattles and clapping.
