One girl on each repeat of the tune, throws her pestle up into the air to the next on her left, this girl catches it in mid air and first pounds lightly on the edge of the mortar (the sound of which can be clearly heard) and then in the mortar until it is her turn to throw it on to her neighbor who repeats the process. Since the pestles weigh about 20 lbs. each, this game at the mortar takes considerable skill and strength. Pounding song with mortar and two pestles

  • Description: "Let it rain! Let it rain so that it washes all the rubbish away with its waters!" The Western Transvaal has inadequate rainfall in many places as low as 15 to 18 inches a year, gradually becoming reduced towards the West and the Kalahari Desert where recently in one region no rain at all has fallen for five years. This accounts for the numerous rain songs to be found among the Tswana tribes who have good cause for anxiety for their crops each year. No rain songs are sung in high rainfall areas. The praise lines or verses are set lines, not impromptu. The words are both archaic and poetic used only for Leboko. The clapping is ritual, but it is always correct to clap the hands when asking for something. The Moroka or rainmaker was the officiant in a rain-making ceremony. Rain song, with clapping.
