about

We learned this curious Bayou waltz with a Spanish name on the returning ferry from the Outer Hebrides. Over the next few years, it slowly became a monster. Here on Estren, and along with its twin An Tros, it tells the story of taming a beast of the sea. While recording with Abel, Tommie recounted the story of Cornish fisherfolk dragging nets out between fleets of boats. From a nearby hill, another person known as a huer would shout to direct the vessels below. Abel takes on the fisherman’s character in this track using his Sesotho mother tongue. A big hand to Alastair and Abel for their vivid inventions.

lyrics

Ditlhapi di a sesa
Thswara mo tshwara mo
Ka Matsogo a lerato
-
The fish flow through the sea and there lies our sustenance
Catch here catch there
With a humble hand
