Zwara is a song sung in South Africa by a Sangoma to ask the ancestors (spirits) to come and heal the children.
Mabi (who sings this song) had two of his children and his daughter in law die in this year.
I asked him just before we started the track to perform a Sangoma intro, I didn't expect him to do what he did, as he had never done it before, it became his healing, after spending years trying to kick alcohol and smoking, which have been threatening his own life, he stopped.
