Description / content note
-
This somg is taken from an old Ngoni regimental song which would, in the old days, have been used only as a song after hunting. This style of singing is indigenous to Zululand rather than Nyasaland and was brought up north in the early nineteenth century migration of the two distinct groups, the Jiri and the Gomani. The Jiri came up through the highlands of what is now Southern Rhodesia and sacked the settlement at Zimbabwe on their way. In one or two words the change over from the Zulu "L" to the Nyasa "R" can be discerned. After hunting and killing a lion the party will dance the Mgubo before the chief and earn an ox in reward. Mgubo dance song, after hunting leopard or lion
