Sugri means peace. We sing about that we don't have money, so we made the group to support people, with work, if someone can not do their work alone, we come and support. We want everyone to come together, we should be one, together to help each other. We sing that some should not take alcohol, not smoke too much, because at the end that will cause fight in the market, at funerals and at all locations. We should stop that and all be together. We all need family life and care for each other.
Our group started almost thirty years ago. We learned the singing when we were building, plastering. When we work we sing, so all the women who come to work start singing. And then we made a group. Through work we learned the singing. We are from Feo, Bongo District.
