Description:		This ox drum song is a type of song preliminary sung by group of men in a large circle and girls come and throw a handkerchief made of goat skin on a shoulder of a man they know best to become later their dancer when time of dancing comes (each man has two or three girls to dance with and such dancing is called agar by Rek group). So in this song the singer Deng Fanan is praising his beautiful ox which is very white like white garment found in the urban (geeu). This ox is as worthy as something bought by twenty five Sudanese Pounds (those days something bought by such amount was very expensive) which is an indication his white ox was like a white elephant tusk wears in arm which was also very expensive. In the middle of this (ox) song the singer praises his lover Akon Akol who turns to be his relative because they (the singer and Akon) belong to the same clan and could make their marriage difficult. [BR and then, presumably from about 154 secs:] Also the singer sings a political song on prophecy of Dinka prophets Ariath Makuei, Cyer Deng Thiapduok and Ajingdit and Ngun Deng the prophet from Nuer tribe who already prophesied the issue of the current struggle led by SPLA headed by John Garang. The able movement that proved wrong that a black man cannot tell truth. The singer thinks that some have enslaved, poor and evil hearted because they do not want to change and those refusing to share power as selfish people. The (singer) says that you (those in the power) who think the black man do not tell truth, but you will be surprised today.
