NGOMA LUNGUNDU

Ngoma Lungundu documents a traditional ceremony to receive an interpretation of the sacred drum of the Kalanga, called Ngoma Lungundu in preparation to be transported to Cape Town. The drum is related to be an instrument of the royal ancestor spirits, the Drum of Mwali, the ancestor god deity of the Venda people. As such, the film also tells the story of how the Venda settled in Limpopo.
