Some 20 years after its first appearance in Johannesburg, South Africa, the musical presentation Ipi Ntombi is featured in the film First Person Singular: Ipi Ntombi. The story about a marriage ceremony for two young people has been revised and updated into a celebratory and uptempo combination of Africa's traditional and modern music. It is highly acclaimed as one of the liveliest and best of South African exports, with crowd-pleasing rhythms and exuberant dancing that is designed to get even the most sedate toes tapping.
