Množina: praise poems

Genre of traditional African literature which has influenced modern African poetry. Oral poets, particularly among southern African peoples such as the Xhosa, Tswana, Zulu, Sotho, and Shona, would recite poems in praise of chiefs, or prominent figures such as the Zulu hero Shaka, at formal gatherings. Such poems were often valued more for content than for execution. Many collections of transcripts have now been published, particularly since the 1960s.
