Yi takaitaccen bayanin ‘yan kama
Above is a question from the book Kowa Ya Sha Kiɗa (Oral poetry). Candidates were required to explain the people (singers) ‘yan kama, their background, their way of life and the type ofsong they compose.
‘Yan kama ana zaton asalinsu makadan fada ne, wadanda suke cikin wawayen sarki masu ba shi dariya. Daga baya ne suka mayar da kidansu ya hada har da wadanda ba sarakai ba. Sukan ba mutane dariya ta wajen shigarsu da ayyukansu da wakokinsu. Sukan sa tufafin gargajiya wajen shigarsu, wani lokaci har da rawani.

Mugun ji dai kana zaune ka ji an ce kaza ta zubar maka da fura. Mugun gani kuwa a sa sanwar tuwo a gidanka a fara talge, tukunyar ta fashe….
Candidates’ performance in this question was good.
