"Vamuvamba" was a traditional song originating from Kenya, Earth.
This song was familiar to Nyota Uhura. When she hummed it as she worked while on an away mission to Comet C/2260-Quentin, the vessel M'hanit responded to the music. This revealed that the vessel communicated using music. The vessel also broadcast the melody into space, allowing Captain Christopher Pike to realize that Uhura and the away team had established contact. (SNW: "Children of the Comet")
"Vamuvamba" or "Yesu Vamuvamba" is a traditional Christian song from the Tiriki people. The title means "they crucified him." [1]
