A Zulu Wedding



Toba took us to her neighborhood in Soweto for a Zulu Wedding.  The dancers did a dance similar to the
Mauri Haka War Chant except instead of their tongue at the end, they fly backwards and land on the ground on their bums.  Meanwhile, all of the women are doing a loud, sustained,  high pitch trill and dancing on the fringes.  It means they are very happy.  The people seated are the groom's family.

  1. What a great experience, thanks for taking the time and share it with us. This past weekend we had our neighborhood Christmas Party... we missed you!!! However, it's so good to see and read about your mission. Its fun to learn about different cultures, huh? xoxo
