Description: The Lunda or Luunda people came into the territory which is now N. Rhodesia from the Congo. They now form a group of about 50,000 east of the Luapula river. This song follows the common Lunda pattern with the chorus singing in organum. The Lunda tribe occupy the watershed fromwhich three great rivers arise: The Zambezi, the Lualaba and the Kasai, the one flowing east to the Indian Ocean and the other two comprising the main southern branches of the Congo flowing westwards to the Atlantic.
