about

Makolo- This is song dedicated to those who choose to believe in their ancestors. I firmly believe that I am surrounded everyday by those that came before me. They are present in spirit and guiding my life towards my destiny. These ideas stem directly out of Chewa culture. I am saying my ancestors are the medium through which I experience God.

lyrics

Makolo
(By Masauko and Mongezi Ntaka)

We have come to share the wisdom of a people
Speaking Spear singing in rhythmic tongues
to bring some elevation

We have come protected by those
that came before us
We are from spaces inside of
God's own heart, come know
the greenness
of love's touch

Makolo akale (the ancestors)
Ndinu mbuye wanga (You are my gods)
(Chorus)

We have come to open the door
that you keep closing
Come get some of everything
that these spirits have to offer
a community at peace

(Chorus)
