You Only Need One String
Gaspar Nali of Malawi makes his own musical instruments out of recycled things -all kinds of things. The one string on this Babatoni is made of burned tires, steel-belted, I presume. Hear more of his music at MySpace. Nali is one of the artists featured in the 2011 documentary Deep Roots Malawi, which is available at YouTube. (via Metafilter)

I can't translate the whole thing, but the gist of it is that his parents don't understand him and that he's an individual who just wants to be free of authority.
Thanks for that, Anonymous!
Wait! No! Don't take me seriously. It was just a joke because the music sounds a lot like pop or perhaps even punk music.
Gotcha! I was totally believable, though.
