Description / content note: Sheik Kinyiri a Soga Moselm is a fat man and a Muloga wizard wanted to poison him and eat him. This was decided at a meeting of the wizards secret society which is presided over by their President, the Muloga Omukuli who sits on an ant hill, with all his wizards around him. Apparently the plan was not successful as Sheik Kinyiri is still alive, as fat and happy as ever. The set of Budongo Likembe covers a range of four octaves from 1040 vs. down to 65 vs. Topical song, with 6 Budongo box resonated Likembe.
