Description / content note: The topical references to this song are most amusing to the audience. One refers to a certain native game guard who is said to have shot a man, buried him in a small hut and vanished into the bush. The police are still looking for him and the people are afraid as he is still at large. Orunyege dance song for boys and girls, with Ebinyege leg rattles.
