- Description: A song touching upon a number of subjects. "When on the point of death you have no strength left to talk. If you dream about a person dying it may mean your own death is near." "The English wanted to fly up to heaven to see God by means of aeroplanes. But they failed. God sent them a limited height of tweleve miles." A the time when this was recorded this height was, in fact, approximately the altitude record for an aeroplane. (Thanks are due, it would appear, to the information Bureau). "A certain man was sick in the evening and when he was given medicine he cried out with pain." The tuning of the instrument was, 248, 220, 202, 174, 144, 130, 110, 101 but the order of the notes themselves on the instrument does not follow the sequence of the scale. Topical song, with Ntongoli 8 string lyre.
