Traditional Kibena tune sung for weddings; 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).

This song was directed by Asheri Mosses Mhema (who said this was "just practice"). Translation written out by JM.
