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.
