After having published The Nguni - The Cattle Of The Xhosa People, we have created a short movie for you, to show their beauty and the beauty of the land and the people, that live with them.
The music we have chosen for this video originates from another great cattle nation - The Mali (peace may finally come back to this country).
The three tracks GOYDIOTODAM, BOYREI and KENOUNA were played and recorded for the legendary album "The River" by the great Koira player Ali Farka Toure, a traditional African musician par excellence who has left his mark on the West African music scene.
The video was shot on location in the Wild Coast, at the small village Quolora by the Sea, a place, that some call also Trenneries after an old hotel of the same name situated in the village.
The area has many rivers flowing into the sea and Nguni cattle of this area walk along the rivers, coming down from the mountains to rest by the sea.
At Quolora you can become a witness of a rare sight. Beautiful African cattle are lying at the beach in the mist and sometimes even in the rain whilst the waves of the mighty Atlantic ocean are thundering in their back.
