- Description: A daughter weeps for her father whom she will never meet again. 'Bia' means 'a song' and 'Kpe' means 'tears'. Literally - a song of tears. The song is sung around the body of the dead person. There is little to indicate from the style and manner of singing that they indicate sorrow or mourning. To an outsider, Zande mourning songs sound as unconcerned with death as similar songs in other African tribes. Mourning song.
