Abstract:With reference to his earlier publications on Swahili songs of different types, the author draws together the lines sketched in the earlier publications and in an unpublished book 'Swahili Songs', to show that all the different strands of songs are in reality variations on the theme of life, and that the words of these songs, like the proverbs, can be applied to many situations in life.
