A woman leads this song. There is not mention of this song in Rycroft's notes, nor is there any conversation referring to it, but one could label it as a hand-clapping song (this is called ukunqukuza and is a style of hand-clapping used by the Zulu people, in which they cup their hands to produce a hollow sound).
