"The Sound of Africa Series - Sons d'Afrique Series"
Reference AMA. TR-102
This song was interrupted by several very long "Lithoko", praises with whistling and ululation accompanied by the men and women sitting around. The considerable length of the praises is not found tedious by people, rather the reverse. They are fascinated by the flow of words.
