Mwayowoya ciyowoyeyowoye mwayowoya (You don't know what you're talking about)
Ruben Tankadi Mbuluwundi and a group of five Henga men from Malawi sing in two-part harmony without instrumental accompaniment. Mbuluwundi wrote this humorous song that is addressed to a "gate crasher" who is trying to force himself into a drinking party. The others say: "Why should you drink our beer, after all we paid for it."
