Noyana

This is the South African song Noyana - it means "We will meet in heaven one day." The first part is a call sung usually by a tenor soloist. The other parts come in after the first No-ya... they sing two noyanas and then after the third No-ya they come in again, and then after Ni-ti... and the final part - Noyana pezulu - everyone comes in at the same time. The order of parts on this video goes Tenor (call) Alto, Soprano, and finally Bass. The song was collected by Nikomo and Colin Harrison in a seminary in South Africa.
