As we weave through Bulawayo’s Kwazulu country With the flow Of the river Umfolosi We join The Imbube culture Swim free These Metabeleland boys Are fast flowing springs of joy While we sway and rise Being here hypnotised We are part of the tide This tradition Encompasses always Into the world’s present day We are changed And we change This happening here And everywhere Brings us a message And - Takes back the power To make training and performance. They even help fund A 900 strong choir At their centre Here is an act To enjoy And admire Feed your appetite Insatiably With Black Umfolosi By Adrian Spendlow |

I wrote this poem to introduce Black Umfolosi at the Masham Festival.
They were great to work with and were very encouraging and took time out from
a busy schedule to check out my band Cookin with Adrian who performed later
in the day. |
