What does the word used in celebrating lion kills mean? Thanx BNagel _______________________ | ||

Kabubi means party or celebration and the kabubi song although varying from area to area a bit, tels the story of the hunt etc. Things like how the animal was strong/up/powerful and the hunters were weak/down/less powerful and the hunter himself reversed the situation etc. - Not really very easy for me to translate properly. Perhaps BwanaMich who is considerably more fluent in Ki Swahili than I am might give a better explanantion  | |||

I "bought" each staff member a beer and they got to sleep later the following morning - it remains one of my best memories. My Kabube by Pierr'e Von Tonder (video by Anneli) click on pictue:  ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS Into my heart on air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again. A. E. Housman | |||

Fantastic!!!  Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Allen, Congratulations on your lion. That video is terrific to say the least. Pierre is a really great guy. I met him in Dallas on Saturday night and spent quite a while talking with him. I know you enjoyed your hunt. Congratulations again. David Walker | |||
