It is also interesting to note that two Chopi men of Southern Mozambique when hearing this song, separately and several years apart, both claimed that the song was an old song of their own people. One man Gilbert Mahlatini stated it was a curative and other, Calisto Zavala, an initiation song. Drinking song, with Ebinyege leg rattles and clapping.
