Subject: Folk music--Africa; Folk songs, Chokwe; Chokwe (African people); Luvale (African people); Field recordings
Description / content note: "My mother is dead." The thin tone of the banboo slats contrasts unfavourably with the metal notes of the usual mbira. The singer, however, is a gifted entertainer and demonstrates how effective a performance can be with so slight an accompaniment. Humorous song with Kisazhi Mbira with 6 bamboo reeds
