Hukwe Ubi Zawose & Werema Masiaga Chacha



That voice still twists and ululates and induces tears in listeners;
 it is still tragic and hopeful all at once;
 it is still the voice of 120 Tanzanian tribes,
 uniting into one living, breathing whole.

Hukwe Ubi Zawose

and
 Werema Masiaga Chacha

in
 Wagogo and Kuria Songs

Come my child and listen to me well.
Oh, let’s go together through the whole world,
Oh, let’s go together everywhere in Africa
 Let’s all follow light and peace together
                                                                                             Dunia
