about

Composed as a creative response to a sculpture in Pitika Ntuli's 'Azibuyele Emasisweni - Return to the Source' online exhibition, presented by The Melrose Gallery in 2020.

lyrics

Warriors in helmets with horns
Bulls ready to charge
A fly whisk is raised to issue commands
'Oya! E niso!, E niso!
Jangling bones, stripped of flesh
Journey towards a battlefield
To face the viral foe
To face the viral foe

Pausing for breath on the long road
Worry beads rattle, soothing their nerves
Hundreds and thousands, hundreds and thousands
Call on the ancestors
'Join in on our quest for healing'
'Join in on our quest for healing'
