Title
Chibongo cha Hosi Chihawahawa wa Yoyane, The Praise of Chief Chihawahawa of Yoyane
Description / content note
Chihawahawa was the grandfather of the present chief Canda. The song was composed about 3 years ago, by Jasintu who was away working on the Gold mines of the Rand when this was recorded. It was the first song of its kind that I have heard set to the Timbila. Praise song for a chief with 22 Timbila xylophones, 6 Chilanzane (Treble), 5 Sange (Alto), 5 Doli (Tenor), 3 Debiinda (Bass), 3 Gulu (Double Bass).
