The workers who migrate from Lesotho to the mines and cities of neighbouring South Africa have developed a rich genre of sung oral poetry focusing upon the experiences of migrant life. This music provides an account of a migrant's life, revealing the relationship between the Basotho workers and those who live off of the workers' labour (the cannibals). Includes transcriptions of male and female performances.
