About this item
| Description: | A male and a female sing this song antiphonally during weddings. The song says, “We are all in my brother’s home chanting prayers and burning incense. Only burning incense and chanting prayers can bring good fortune to this family. If the smoke circles into the sky to the left, the mountain deity will receive it. If the smoke circles into the sky to the right, the gods and goddesses will receive it. Wherever you are, don’t forget to chant prayers! Prayers will give you good luck.” |
