- Description: This song is based on an old traditional song teaching good behaviour. "To keep a dog one must be wise-if you take a stick it will run away. In the same way we must be tactful with our wives. If we use force, we shall fail to control them. A bad wife is not neccessarily the one who talks too much, and a good wife is not neccessarily one who talks less. By all means, let us see what we see, but we should not give our ears to everything we hear." The singer adds: "I heard this song from the Lala." The whole song is performed in a kind of recitative with call and answer. Morality song with guitar and bottle.

But Lake Bengwelu is our mine because wheras you Lamba, you get all your wealth from the mines, we get it from our fish. In place of the jack hammers we have a net. The miners use a rock drilling machine underground, and we use a Mukwano net." Kalela dance song.

- Description: "How many tribes are there? The Lamba, the Lenje, the Lumbo not forgetting the Kande, because we admire their language. We make fun of the Nyakyusa and the Kasai, on account of their dress; plain dresses are just as good. Look at a girl from the Mumbo region, she does not dress like a Kasai, yet look at her beautiful clothes. When you change over from your country dress, do not take quickly to town dresses and become a prostitute. Kalela dance song.
