Description:This story and its concomitant song/dance are about a masalai (spirit) named Sovo who takes a wife and has a child with her. The wife and child visit the woman's family, and Sovo ends up fighting with his child. The song focuses on the odd appearance of the child and the fight that the child and Sovo have.
