Artist's legend:
"Because many people think he has a very ugly face and fearful teeth, he invites his friends to free parties in honour of his ancestors. So he keeps smiling all the time. If his friends don't come, he goes outside and sings to the friends inviting them to come" (Ed. note: as told by Lucas Sithole 14.10.1980)
