The subject of their adulation may be their host, their cattle or any subject gratifying their senses.

The practise of interspersing spoken praises between song is also found among the Sotho of Basutoland.

Nowadays woth no fighting to be done the praises have been extended to any gratification and particularly of the 'Pombe' banana beer. Engabo praise, with conical drum. laced, single, played with hands and clapping.
