- Description
- Ntsikana was the first Christian convert of the Xhosa tribes. "The song was chanted by Ntsikana regularly at dawn of day, standing at his hut door, summoning the people to morning prayer. As people gathered they joined in the strains, adding different parts. Extracts taken from the songbook "Amaculo ase Lovedale.", published by the Lovedale Press.- It is notable that Ntsikana had never heard a church bell. The tune is of African origin. Religious descriptive chant and song.
