UmVelingqi Ntate Mahlomola - Lesiba

Ode to Ntate Mahlomola
It's been a long journey... if you find and encounter uQamata in a bee, serpent ,cloud, leaf, water, wind, vision or dream know that you are being held by an eternal hand and you are not lost.
Do not seek guidance outside of faith and your inner-self for if you are weak then there are many ways to mislead you.
Go to the ocean speak an old language there... Go to a green forest next to an old tree close your eyes, vibrate and pray. Let your dreams guide you to your guides when you find them let then uncover the divinity and balance in the natural world ... Be still, then and know that in all creation there is sound and vibration therefore frequency and thus potential for warmth and light.
Be still and hear uMvelinqangi.
Well it took so much but I know now my music is designed by the almighty to heal. now I devote myself once more to learning about the natural plants, energies and pathways to unlock the way back to uSomadla. my ancestors dreams, feelings ,umbilini are all just natural mechanisms built in by uQamata to guide me when my strength is not enough.
Thank you to Ntate Mahlomola: a rare and high healer, guide , elder and Lesiba player. Who advised "you have all your spiritual gifts actualized but you must revere your gift of sound and healing for it is divine and so nurture it.. ensure those around you respect it. so that you may eventually give what you have to someone else... you then confirm exactly what I dreamt of and confirmed that under this mountain in Morija where there is Induna I will be guided by you to understand the herbs so I can truly walk in my path.
I give thanks, and humbly appreciate all practitioners of love and light on our continent. You Are few but you are many.
Now I am home, with a small amount of understanding and wisdom to begin and continue my path of vibrational giving and healing.Really looking forward to being surprised by walking in faith. Bearing Witness to real effects o healing with my gift.
I will not deny what I see waking nor dreaming.I will not hide it, I will not flaunt it and will nurture it, share it for if it is Gods to me then it is from me to you as well. NoOne owns sound

A true player and wonderful recording. It is so difficult to get a full spectrum audio capture of this very intimate, personal instrument.

[@ntsikoemosebo5363]

My favourite instrument

The Basotho herders have kept the tradition alive, even while the guitar and concertina were widely adopted by most other southern African musicians.
But, like all modern bow players in the subcontinent, we owe our traditions to the San and Khoi Khoi who are the earliest known players of these unique musical bows.
The breathed bow's associations with the wind, and by extension, the thunder, lightning and rain, was expressed by the /Xam San player Dia!kwain in the 1870s.

Is this instrument made from bamboo stick ? I don't understand what he is saying sounds like it's SeSotho. Anyways its so beautiful ❤❤❤

[@harebathomoletsane5934]

It is originally made from a straight long wooden stick (called "mongkhoane"), and a string made of woven horse' tail hair, then a quill of a large bird's feather (eagle, secretary bird etc.) The sound comes from blowing in and out on the quill, much in the same way as playing a harmonica... I don't know whether this instrument would be classified as stringed or wind instrument

[@BleedingEdgeOfProgress]

There should be a modern version of this instrument developed, with the ability to change the fundamental pitch!

[@indigenousfrequencycast6366]
