WELCOME!
It would be rude of me to not greet and welcome you to this page...
So, molo (hello) and wamkelekile (welcome)!
Below is a song by Cape Town-based cross-over band, Hot Water.
Let's get the good vibes going...
THE CLICK SONG
Qongqothwane (the actual name of the song) is a folk song about a beetle that makes clicking sounds. The song was often sung at weddings as it was believed to bring about good luck, rain, and guidance through troubled times. The beetle was also used in children's games as it would show them the way home.
