"Move": Talisman winter show 2009
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=FB825B8817A5AF50

"Shosholoza" was originally sung by African men who were forced to labor in the mineral mines of southern Africa. It is a song of solidarity which acknowledges communal suffering but also seeks to inspire hope and strength. Talisman's arrangement, sung in the language of Zulu, is based on a version by the Soweto Gospel Choir. The lyrics translate to "Move fast on those mountains, train from South Africa. You are running away on those mountains, train from South Africa."
