Zimbabwean Outback Melodies are a lady’s choir group based in Alice Springs who collaborated with Incite to create a song and short film called Water is Life for the 2020/2021 Unbroken Land presentation. The song is about water being life and describes the water that we share, the well where they get their water in Africa, and the water that is here in Alice Springs/Mparntwe, put together with an old celebration song called “Shosholoza”, originally sung by men from the Ndebele, signifying working together for a common cause.
