Kya kya Ruzaara Kantu >Ekyevugo

We were taught "Okwevuga" when we were small boys, by the more grown ones who had learnt many of the  "Ebyevugo" or even composed some of them. I knew a guy back then who composed some and one particular one -Ekyevugo kinabeire nyevuga omubwana;

Ekyevugo: "Kyakya Ruzaara Kantu"
Kyakya ruzaara kantu nkataahira omwirembo ry'agati; Eeeeee....Rugwisa kagwe nk'eita omuntu bakubire Rwabutiiti Rutahembya
Omubuhangwa bwabanyankore, namunonga Abahima, haka habamu ebintu nka;
  1. Ebyevugo 
  2. Ebigano -Fairy Tales
  3. Ebirahiro
  4. Okugamba Ente
  5. Okwikiriza Ente

Its hard to find a group of Banyankore especially the young generation that remembers these things. I think the one up there would fit more into the category of  "Ekirahiro" than Ekyevugo, because it is quite short -two lines, compared to a full blown "Kyevugo" which could last hours of recitation and chanting
