A Trance Song

In this ‘healing dance’, Bushmen singers and dancers go into a state of !kia (trance). This spiritual state is accessible to all, an integral part of their lives, bringing the whole community together. !kia is to go inot unconsciousness (‘half death’), letting go of your spirit in order to remonstrate with //Gauwa (God) (CD notes: The Bushmen of the Kalahari).
