Description
"I do not like this never ending pounding." Two simple pounding songs in which the one girl echoes the other as they pound in the sam mortar with alternate strokes. This echoing style of singing is also used for their rain songs (see TR-190) and at first hearing leaves an impression of confusion rather than intent.
