- Description
- The singers, who were sitting on the ground, all bent their heads on their folded arms while singing this song. It is the first opening movement of this dance before actully dancing. The dance itself is a variation of the Ndlamu stamping dance found all through Zululand and as far south as Thabankulu in the Transkei. "Bengiyo shela. Bengiyo shela ka lo bamba. Ngiyoshele malangena." Youn men's dance. Isibacha.
