These songs are performed during funerals while mourning for the dead and when articulating social issues that affect families among the Lugbara, such as laziness, disrespectful women and others. Songs that communicate social issues are normally performed during funerals because it is at funerals that a good number of people gather, hence becoming a time to educate the masses through music. | en_US |
