Song 184 20160229n

The traditional wedding song . Song addressed by a young man to a young woman simply referred to as “hedgehog” (and possibly daughter of Boomboód of the house of Mayo), in which the woman is praised as pretty. Unclear reference is made to house posts || Wimbo wa ndoa unayoitwa . Wimbo unaimbwa na kijana kwa mwanamke anayeitwa “nungunungu ndogo” (na labda ni binti wa Boomboód Mayo), unamsifa kwa kuwa mzuri. Inahusisha miti ya nyumba, lakini maana yake haijulikani vizuri. || For any use of this single material, or of a small number of materials from the larger deposit, please include the following credit lines: 1.
