Performer / Recordist: Sulum Abdallah with Hehe men and Children; Tracey, Hugh

Description / content note: "The love-torn man takes refuge in marriage, like a buffalo who hides himself up in the hills." A cheerful song, originally a wedding song but often sung as a drinking song. A good example of clapping as an accompaniment to dance. It seems fairly certain that the song has an erotic meaning behind it.
