In this story, the young girl Ra-Eli watches as her family agonizes over the illness of her baby brother Samson. When they approach a healer, the answer comes: Hold a ceremony to honor your ancestors and ask them to help, a joyful ceremony filled with guests.
And there follows one of those magical sequences that are found in the traditional tales of East Africa, where Tololwa Mollel comes from. First, neighbors and friends come to the event then angels and finally Mola God. Music and dancing ensue, and when the exhausted Ra-Eli wakes, Mola hands the now recovered baby to his joyful mother.
This story is a true testament to the power of ceremony and music and the honoring of ancestors who come from the lands of the night.
