about

The Song of the Weaver tells the stories of the Gone Rural women. As their hands work, they sing their tales – their memoirs captured in every strand.

Inherited from previous generations, these are the indigenous, siSwati songs that resonate most with our 800 rural artisans.

All profits from the sale of this CD will benefit Gone Rural boMake projects.

expertise in recording the artisans and bringing the project to
life, Isabel Ross for being an inspiration to Gone Rural and for
making this project possible, Lusweti Institute for Health
Communication Development and Australian Volunteers International
for supporting professional skill sharing, our many
customers for their ongoing and enthusiastic support, and all

voices with us.
