Kiyakiya – "Why Do You Run Away?"

In this place, my drummer asks a friend: "My friend, what's the matter with you, that you are in such a big rush?" With the changing tempo of life in Africa today, many people are in a hurry to get somewhere. People are in a hurry to get rich quick; to travel by fast moving vehicles; and to develop the country speedily. Friends no longer have time to stop, salute, and gossip as before. Instead they wave to one another at a distance, and say "gudubai" -goodby! The drum artist is surprised at these things, and is particularly disturbed at the thinning cord of friendship. So he resorts to the drum. Hear the beats simulating the hasty pace, as he sings "salo e; salo e; salo e…" But this time, does not heed the artist as it bears in new fads and foibles.
