It would seem to reflect the common anxiety of fisher folk everywhere, the fear that the boat and its crew may never come back. "Mose, you come back, come back, you return and my spirit will be at rest. If you go again, then you can go because I have seen your face. The sun is already high and you paddle slowly like a duck." Canoe song.

  • Description: "I am a beggar - I have got two daughters, Hapana and Mboyie." A number of the more gifted players of his instruments, the mbira become mendicant players and earn a few free meals, drinks and presents by entertaining their less gifted country folk in this way. The theme of their songs is frequently poverty and sonsequently the words "rombe" a "beggar" and "murombo" a mendicant singer, are sometimes synonymous. This instrument had a mirliton set into the underneath section of the bell, an unusual practice and one that is only effective if used in conjuction with an external which would set it in vibration. Mendicant's song with Mbira dza wa Ndau.
