Chipungu, The eagle
Performer / Recordist
Description / content note
The man is singing, partly in Falsetto, a duet with his wife. "Chipungu, Chipungu, show me where the meat is." The Chipungu is the Bateleur eagle which features in many songs in this part of Africa. It is sometimes said to be a sign of good luck, and, sometimes, if flies across your path at the beginning of a journey that you should turn back and start again tomorrow. Self delectative song with Kalimba, eleven notes, fan and external resonator
