- Description
- The spokesman of the bridegroom presents his man, and the women sing their acceptance of him, sitting on the ground. The song ends with 'Bayete' (hail). The song long associated with the Zulu wedding custom in Natal but separated by over 100 years and a thousand miles, show how persistent and nostalgic old songs can be in a strange land inhabited by African 'colonials'. Wedding song.
