A Bolo-bolo Song

Nyango wrote: "This is one of our "bolo-bolo" songs. "Bolo-bolo" is the moonlight dance common in our villages when the full moon is out and everyone forms a ring and dances. I hope I had explained this before. The clapping is rhythmic."

Notes

Notes from Nyango: "Njanga" - crawfish or crayfish.
"Mololo" is a fish about the size of a herring. So, the song is simply talking about a strange phenomenon: something as small as the crawfish eating up the larger one.
