This is a Makuleya song from Malawi that tackles the theme of superstition in a satirical manner. The song revolves around accusations of witchcraft, specifically whether a person who owns an animal horn filled with magical charms should be allowed to remain in the community.
The women singers who open the song state that the one who possesses the witchcraft horn should be allowed to stay. But the chorus states to the contrary that the one who does not possess such a horn be allowed to stay. This contradictory message can be interpreted in various ways.
The one with the horn should stay
The one with the horn should stay today
The one with the horn should stay…
