Walé Oyombé, Nkúmu

Traditionally, a native chief (nkúmu) would move about on a ‘tipoy’, accompanied by his army. Wale Oyombé sings that she is proud to be compared to a patriarch, because she has respected the sexual taboo during her long. Similar to a native chief, she too is carried on a tipoy. She compares her assistants to soldiers, since they too ensure her daily survival and safety.
