THIS IS A TRADITIONAL ZULU SONG -snip-
"Zulu Maiden" = a female virgin who is Zulu. Ukusina songs are traditionally performed while Zulu females
attend a one week camp for virgins.Here's a comment exchange from this video's discussion thread.

* I did a Google translate from English to Zulu for these words and I got this response that is very close to this video's title "ZULU MAIDENS- LASHONA NENDABA ZALO" = "ilanga lishona nazo zonke izinkinga zalo"
