- Description
- We were told that this group of Xhosa lads were from Christian homes. The tune is connected to the same dance for young boys and girls between the ages of about 12-17 years. It is a typical song the group of young people use on their way to the home where the party is to take place. The dance itself takes place in a hut. Mbayizelo dance song, with harmonica.
