Banda people
The Banda are an ethnic group of the Central African Republic, some of whom also live in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and South Sudan.
The Banda speak several Ubangian languages that are related to that of their Gbaya and Ngbandi neighbours. The Banda numbered about 1,300,000 at the turn of the 21st century. The Banda observe patrilineal descent and live in hamlets of dispersed homesteads under the local governance of a headman. Rural Banda raise maize (corn), cassava, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and tobacco. Men hunt and fish while women gather wild foods and cultivate crops. Banda craftsmen produce carved wooden ritual and utilitarian objects; they are best known for their large slit drums carved in the shapes of animals.
Stateless when first encountered by Europeans, the Banda selected war chiefs only during times of crisis, after which the warriors were divested of their power. Age grades and initiations called semali assured intergroup unity in time of war. Marriage traditionally required bridewealth, often in iron implements. Polygamy, although still practiced, has declined with the rise of a money-based economy.

Eggbound
by: LeatherfaceShe only smoked weed so she'd like what's been on mtv
At least that's what she found
She could kiss while she shelled oysters
In her boyfriend's big open gob now that made me frown
Have you ever been to New Orleans
Yes but I might as well have been a long way down
He holds his head as if he's eggbound
He holds his head as if he's eggbound
She's not averse to forgetting her purse
Especially when there's beer around
She'd lick the ground
She not only likes that John Smith shite
Her favourite though is Sunny Delight
Now that's eggbound
She went away to find herself
She lost her mind but found some shorts
She's lucky like that
She went to see that band Black Grape
She took something and it went pear-shaped
That's a long way down
She holds her head as if she's eggbound
