What does the African term "umbo weti" mean?
I was looking at the Leon Thomas album "Gold Sunrise on Magic Mountain" from 1970 and the last track is named "Umbo Weti." What does that mean

both sites seem to be about Leon Thomas, but the second one describes it as the name that certain peoples in africa give to leon's distinctive style of closed mouth yodeling.. i think.
