- Description: "I love you so Munanie, I do not know where I am. If a man is hated by the Kamba many bad things may be said about him. But it does not matter if they turn your heart from me, you will still come to my hut.". The singer uses his lute as a rhythmic rather than a melodic instrument. His voice appears to be pitched well above the instrument. His voice appears to be pitched well above the two basic notes of his lute, but the interval may bear some constant relationship which is not discernable to a foreign ear at first hearing. On the other hand the lute may be considered as a two note 'drone' to the melody. It will be noticed that the pitch of his lute slightly lower in this and the next song "Musenga." Love song, with Mbebe, one string, bowed lute.
