Traditional Kibena tune sung when a person is near death; it is performed here by a 39 voice choir of young people accompanied by four drums (3 drums named "ngadule" and one drum named "ndudzi") and ankle bells (called "mangala" worn by the director).

The words were written by George Kanibo. Translation written out by JM.
