In fitting with the previous two songs, the solo acapella rendition Vukani takes the form of a prayer summoning an ancestral spirit to manifest in its power. It is in the realm of divining – wherein a medium seeks the attention or ‘wakefulness’ of spiritual guides whom the singer here beseeches with the words ‘even as you may be asleep, arise and be in charge’. Part of a séance in the diviners’ practice, the chant pleads for enlightenment of the mortal spiritual medium, to enable them to give counsel, divine on behalf of or heal a suffering subject. The tone of the piece emanates from a humble position of an individual who – in being summoned onto the path of divining – is thereby charged with a burdensome spiritual responsibility. When the burden becomes too overwhelming to bear alone, the acolyte cries out for intervention by spiritual elders, ancestors who are reverentially considered and respectfully referred to as ‘those who are asleep’.
