I mentioned the Malawian hip-hop artist in a recent entry. Sample his music on his blog http://thephyzix.blogspot.com/. The kid has amazing talent!

Interesting Lobola conversation on TV

Family of older white guy : so how much are you expecting from us? Family of young black girl : 20 cows White guy : What? With all due respect i have to interject here. I have paid for the negotiation gifts to bring us to this point, I have offered to pay for the wedding, you know I will be there for her financially. Now I have to pay for 20 COWS? I didn't sighn up for this!!! Father of Black girl : You didn't sign up for this? You didn't sign up for this? My daughter is young, never been married, well behaved, can look after herself, has a post-grad education, works for herself, thinks for herself AND NOW COMES YOU AN OLD MAN, DO YOU THINK I SIGNED UP FOR THIS???? Family of older white guy : Okay, so how many cows are we talking again? You gotta admit, the dynamics in this conv. couldn't have been more hilarious!
