| Description: | | The traditional song , sung by two men who trade lines back and forth, and a larger group who provide a refrain. Hoombó Samajanja is a refrain, and it is unclear as to whether this is a person name, or simply a refrain of non-lexical vocables. The word munyampala is used in this song, which never occurs elsewhere in Gorwaa, but means ‘elder’ or ‘old man’ in the F3-group Bantu languages of northern Singida (such as Ihanzu) || Wimbo wa unaoitwa , unaoimbwa na wanaume wawili wanaopeana nafasi, na kundi kubwa zaidi wanaopokea. Hoombó Samajanja ni kiitiko, na haijulikana kama ni jina la mtu, au maneno yasio na maana tu. Neno la munyapala hutumika kwenye wimbo huu, ambaye haitumiki kwenye Kigorowa, lakini humaanisha ‘mzee’ kwenye lugha za Kibantu F-3 wa Singida kaskazini (kama Kinyihanzu) || For any use of this single material, or of a small number of materials from the larger deposit, please include the following credit lines: 1.
