THE Tsonga number about 1,200,000, and live in an arid area of the Northern Transvaal and Mozambique, where rain can mean the difference between adequate food and starvation. The songs which they sing strongly reflect their needs and their anxieties. The texts of Tsonga rain songs emphasize the lightning bird of misfortune, black millipedes as a sign of forthcoming rain, the sacrifice of black sheep to bring rain, and the sound of rain (tho-tho-tho) and its promise of good crops. The following seven examples were collected by the writer during a two-year stay with the Tsonga, under a grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research
