Description: This song was sung on a bright sunny afternoon by 20 Gcaleka women all dressed in their ochre coloured blankets or shawls, sitting on the ground near the cattle kraal. The great open downs of the Transkei rolling away on every side to the mountains in the West and blue Indian ocean to the east. Circumcision song for the Abakweta dance with clapping.
