The African American holiday of Kwanzaa is a first fruits festival, inspired by the Zulu celebration Umkhosi Wokweshwama, also known as Umkhosi Woselwa. The story of The First Fruits Festival of Kwanzaa is about a boy named Shaka. He wants to attend the Umkhosi Wokweshwama to sing the ngoma for his ancestors. However, he does not know if he is strong enough to make the trip from America to South Africa because he suffers from sickle cell anemia. As Shaka navigates the festival and his ailment, listeners will be introduced to the Zulu culture and experience the Umkohsi Wokweshwama.
