"One of the few songs Alfred did with a backing band. On this recording Alfred has confined himself to lead guitar and lead vocals. The title translates as "everyone is your parent". In the usual style Alfred is recounting a conversation with his mother when she was teaching him to respect people. A simple message that we should all try a bit harder to be more polite and pleasant"
From the album "Zambia!! - An Introduction to Shalawambe, Amayenge and more", MONDECA records, MON 001s

If you are about 30years old, as I am, you probably remember a lesson like that from your parents. Maybe not exactly in these words, but we were all taught to respect adults. I hope we are giving the same lessons to ours...
