  • Description: This praise, which both begins and ends with song, are frequently recited by men at parties. The subject of their adulation may be their host, their cattle or any subject gratifying their senses. Adulation of elders is part of the sycophantic social system common to many tribes and especially cattle owners. The practise of interspersing spoken praises between song is also found among the Sotho of Basutoland. The word Engabo means literally a brave man and these praises were originally intended to praise fighting men. Nowadays woth no fighting to be done the praises have been extended to any gratification and particularly of the 'Pombe' banana beer. Engabo praise, with conical drum. laced, single, played with hands and clapping.

It is also interesting to note that two Chopi men of Southern Mozambique when hearing this song, separately and several years apart, both claimed that the song was an old song of their own people. One man Gilbert Mahlatini stated it was a curative and other, Calisto Zavala, an initiation song. Drinking song, with Ebinyege leg rattles and clapping.
