Hello everyone, This is another opportunity in the hive music festival.This is week 149 round round 2, I am @joshuabbey. This is going to be my entry in this competion and so i appreciate everyone who have been working for the success of this project, Kudos to @musiczone who has been guiding us through in our post. It is another opportunity to make a musical presentation. I appreciate everyone who has been working for the success of this project and to all the members of this great community, I say well done to you all.

I am here again this week with another wonderful song by beautiful nubia titled "Pass the calabash". You know that whenever I'm here, I'm always here with an Africans type of music and the same thing goes this week, another African music. African Music is a medicine on its own and it can bring a great relieve to the body and soul. Every positive message music l.e music created with the purest of intention has the power to heal the individual and the community at large. Good music has the power to make the soul clean, illuminate the heart, make the captive free, it has the power to strength the week and bring hope to the hopeless.

This song is talking about the african culture that has to do with love and harmony. Our social life is far different from other places because we see ourselves not as neighbors but as families, as friends and brothers. African people love to do things together, when on farm, they like to work together, i.e today they will go to one person's farm and tomorrow they will gather again to work in another person's farm, that is their nature and after the work for the day they gather together in a place like a cool spot, and they settle down to enjoy themselves with drinks. Sometimes they eat together after they are through with their work for the day, in the same big bowl, with one cup, they dine and wine together.

For Each age group, when they gather in the evening in their meeting place (some have their meeting point under a big tree in the village, some will be at the market square). During this meeting in the evening, they will get a big container for palm wine bigger enough to satisfy every one of them. And like I said earlier, they drink from one cup, passing the cup from one person to another. They do this without discrimination and hatred, even to those that are non indigenous of the village, they still extend their same love to them. And when it comes to joyful occation like wedding ceremony, they gather together to celebrate, even during disaster or bad occurrence, they rally around themselves and solve the problem together like brothers. Thats the African ways of doing things especially the parts where I come from, we are just like brothers. What i am saying is that there is this special kind of bond that tie together. As it were in the days of our fathers so it is in this our time.

So therefore, below is the lyrics of the song "pass the Calabash"

Our work is done, It's time to have some fun, people come together sing a song of joy
Pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine (pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine)

Our work is done, It's time to have some fun, people come together sing a song of joy
Pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine (pass the calabash o)

Pass am o, pass am o, drink am o drink
Share am o, share am o, don't you forget
In Africa, people always share, we love our neighbours all, we don't discriminate (In Africa, people always share, we love our neighbours all, we don't discriminate)

Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh (Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh)
Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh (Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh)
Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh (Ah, pass the calabash oh-oh)

Ah, pass the calabash o make we drink some palmwine (pass the calabash oh-oh)
My brother make we shack some palmwine
(Pass the calabash oh-oh)
Everybody make we drink some palwine (pass the calabash oh-oh)
My sister make we shack some palmwine (pass the calabash oh-oh)
