Description
"Shosholoza" is a Ndebele folk song that originated in what is now Zimbabwe but was popularised in South Africa. It was sung by Ndebele all-male migrant workers that were working in the South African mines in a call and response style. The song is so popular in South African culture that it is often referred to as South Africa's second national anthem.
N.B. This is a middle schoolers (2nd Year) class project so please don't be too hard on this, they meant well :)
Performed by the South African a cappella group Overtone, recorded for Clint Eastwood's Invictus (2009)
