A response to Radio Continental Drift project's The Women Sing at Both Sides of the Zambezi - I just listened to the selection and tried to isolate the things that resonated after the listening and just couldn't brush Mai Moyo's words aside. the looped chant from the Thandanani Women in the background are symbolical of this unity she managed to federate, from a lone voice to a choir, from isolation and survival to communion and elation.
