Title
Nanyini kayu bwali da
Description / content note
"When the owner of the house comes, where will you run?" Meaning when you come to be married how will you account for yourself. Kasumba, when he finds the young woman of his own village standing about the street corners of Kampala, is about to arresr them and send them back home. Kasumba himself was present at the recording. He was a representative of the Ssaza Chief Kago. It is not unusual for a singer to sing about those present, and he enjoys within reason a Jester's licence of the speech. Topical song, with 1 tall, cylindrical, open and pinned drum, 1 large conical laced drum (-14.22301-) and hand clapping (-12.03-).
