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.

- Description: 'I have no mother. No matter what I do, whether I pray or whatever I do, I am alone." The singer is a wandering performer who earns his living by singing popular songs of his own composition which give him plenty of scope to introduce local gossip between verses. He is assisted by 2 or 3 friends who share his bohemian life wandering from compound to compound along the Copperbelt. His songs, though often rhythmic, are frequently based upon the slightest of melodies as in this case. This song is sung partly in the local Lamba language - Although Tsotsi Kasumali himself is an Aushi. Lament with guitar and bottle.
