I cry every time i listen to this song.... it is so touching... makes me thing about all the dehumanization and sadness not only in Africa but all over the world...:'(

The Constant Gardener..... Great Movie!!!:)

kothbiro means rain is coming,the song is a traditional song sang during the coming of the rainy season,the rythm and most of words r his,i can put it in this contxt when taking care of cows goats and sheep my grandmother whenever she saw the weather changing she would go around looking for us and tell us heavy rains were coming and its time to take the animals home,cause its dangerous for us kids and animals.its from luo tribe in kenya.

Funny, the version I posted seemed to be the most pervasive one on the Internet...I would think it'd be right. Thanks for the correction. I'd hate to be the source of misinformation. :-)

ok you got the lyrics wrong.. its in luo and here is a more accurate translation

aa, aye aye.. (in most chants "ha" does not exist in the tribe)

ouma be uwinja

koth biro

kel uru dhok e dala

yaye nytihindo gi,

un koro un utimoru nade

koth biro,

kel uru dhok e dala

This record was also played in the background of the BBC series 'Our World' in the episode that dealt with Somali Pirates (Just in case someone is looking it up)

nul, plat, non habite, demonstratif, aucun lien avec la profondeur du musicien!
