"Chamutenguere"- Social music of the Shona people of Zimbabwe dating back to the 1800's. Is an expression of the social dynamics of colonialism, which translates roughly, "of the wagon wheels". The "two wheels of the wagon", this new form of transportation. Stretch your foot out and let me extract the thorn. The doctor has been stabbed.
"Dome yang mhaa" (your enemy is happy)- is played in Lobi/Dagara from Northern Ghana. It is custom for gyil players during funerals to announce the death and to honor a man of leadership age. The song is a social warning, that your enemy could be among you. Your enemy could be someone in your own house".
