KIVILA NEVER DIE
As kivila
was almost disappearing in Uvila
central,
One of the sons of Lembwe
who's called Mapendano Mukevi,
Well known by his stage name
Of " Mule"
Who said one day
" No and no again,
Kivila will never die while I am living.
I will never witness the death
Of my mother tongue on this planet Earth.
No language will swallow kivila.
I wish to become a bavila library
and museum through my Arts."
He composed some songs in kivila
As a big call to some bavila who thought
the mother tongues of other folks
were better than theirs.
He sensibilized some young Bavira
to join him to fulfil his vision.
They could sing and dance
culturally
To portray their culture
Wide Worldly.
Later on,
there were some bavila musical
orchestra groups " Kyalalo and Tanganika Muzika"
which were founded following his steps.
He is one of the promoters
of the Bavira musical rhythm
and dance known as "Makina Kalanzi"
When God called Mapendano Mukevi
many bavila cried to loose him
And wished him to rest in peace.
