E-ye-ye, kusumbukila kulunda (The Lunda marriage)
This sikinta dance song is performed by six Lunda men from Mwinilungu District, Zambia and is led by Conguboyi Ntambo. The song includes a leader-chorus form and two and three-part harmony and is accompanied by two struck bottles. The words describe a chief who loses the respect of the people when he destroys his brother’s chieftainship.
