voicing: SATB div. | catalog number: SBMP 1177 | duration: c. 3:50 | price: $2.80
accompaniment: a cappella

This highly dramatic traditional African song was arranged by two South African composers, both experts in this genre of music. The treble voices carry the melody, the lower voices provide the harmonic underlay. One of the first of this genre, it remains one of the best.
