The Swaziland National Anthem by the Police Band is background by the titles for the whole film, followed with some scenes from Swaziland; singing is by “Bena Mpondo” choir with “Sanibonani, nonkhe” (Hello, everybody) in “uMbholoho” style, recorded in a small hut in Mangwaneni; followed by Mbabane, Swaziland's capital with background music by a woman, cradling her baby and playing the “sikhelekehle”, a one-stringed musical bow with a gourd as a sound amplifier, recorded at her house in Mbabane.
