Performer / Recordist
Description / content note
This is the old Mzeno (1947) which is now no longer sung and danced to. It was replaced by the Mzeno waHamela, Hamela's Mzeno. Sitiki was once working in the Johammesburg mines and sent his coat to the tailor to be mended because it was torn. The tailor put leather onto the tear. When Sitiki came for it and asked him why he put on leather patches the tailor said, "because of the Germans". The man went away and made a song that all English material came from Germany, and that was why he had to have leather patches on his coat. Orchestral dances with Timbila xylophones.
