The song sung by the fishermen is a traditional song in an old language

out by the fishing location, you will help the crew to get the nets ready
by lowering them under the boat. As darkness descends on the lake,
paraffin lights are lit to attract the sambaza fish. From here you will

while until the captain decides that enough fish has been attracted
below the boat. Together with the crew you will pull the nets up into the
boat which is a tough and laborious activity. One catch usually yields
anything from 3 to 30 kgs of fish depending on the location and the
current conditions. The nets are lowered and pulled several times by
the crew until they return at dusk. You are welcome to stay and wait for
another catch, but most people are fairly tired at this point and board
