Description
This song is taken from the publication 'A Royal Account of Music in Zulu Life with Translation, Annotation, and Musical Transcription' (Rycroft, D.,1975, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, Vol 38, No 2, 353). Princess Magogo sings an ukuguba hunting dance song, which is performed by the community when the men return with the kill ( Rycroft, D.,1975, pg. 365).
