- Description
- Dancing song such as this one is the present fashion among Gcaleka young people. They are simple and easy to follow and each singer can add his own variations. The dancers add the gutteral roaring sound, which may reflect their distant relationship with the Arabs of the East African coast many generations ago. Mtshotsho song, with clapping.
