Song: Tangawizi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gone are the days when music was meant to educate and entertain.
\nMusic like Manyake, Wamlambezi and the like make little sense to the old folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visualize this, a man leaves his wife just because of taking a well brewed tangawizi tea? Well this is what Papa Noelle is talking about in his song ‘Tangawizi’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The song ‘Tangawizi’ was composed by guitar virtuoso Papa
\nNoel Nedule. Known as Papa Noel because he was born on December 25th 1940. The song was first
\nreleased in 1982. The lead vocalist for this song is Ntesa Dalienst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first stanza, the man\u2019s first wife decides that she cannot put up with sharing her husband
\nwith another woman. \u2026
\nNgai nalembi nakoki lisusu te..
\n(Iam tired I cannot do anything else)
\nNgai naboyi oh..
\n(I dont want oh..)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the second section, the
\nnew woman brags about intoxicating her man
\nwith love and credits herself for causing the first wife to leave the marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
