Description: The singers had just come back from initiation school. Here they use floor polish instead of the traditional red ochre with which to stain themselves. Several of them looked like Nilo Hamite men from Kenya and some of their songs also suggested the modality of those Northern tribes coincidence perhaps, but noticable. "The brown cow is held, caught and held prisoner and stands there all day. The other cows are also held fast in the same way. The brown yearling, our father's cow, ruled over nations while held flat." The words are allusive and symbolic. Male initiation song performed while in the veld.
