"When it became clear that my friend had no drums, I went to her to tell her that we had drums." In this area most of the domestic work in European houses is done by men, familiarly called 'boy'. The woman mentioned in the song became a domestic servant, but, the song says, she repented her decision and preferred to get married and have a home of her own. The connection between this song and the divination of the old woman who sanf it is not clear. Migabo is said to be the name of a group of older people, mostly women, who believe in the power of divination to assist their friends and relatives. Migabo divination songs, with 3 conical laced drums, and 4 gourd rattles (-12.54-).
