Masihambe bawo silele emzini (We slept at a certain kraal, let us go early)
This performance, by young married Mpondo women of the Caba Location, Cape Province, South Africa, begins with one woman and then is taken over by another. This pattern continues as long as they like, with a leader-chorus format, accompanied by clapping.
