Narration sentence highlighting is idle.
The beat is already doing the work here: steady percussion underneath, with the voice close to the surface.
This is the first clear lyric entrance, starting with "Nieida" and then "Gánda" almost right after it.
Now the "Gula" address arrives inside the same circling rhythm, not as a separate announcement.
Listen to how the line widens here: the lyric turns toward the foremothers' voice, while the pulse stays close and regular.
After that long held stretch, the vocal comes back with new words, but the track keeps the same warm center underneath it.
These shorter lines start to stack more quickly: sisters, brothers, then the place names follow without the rhythm changing shape.
"Nieida" and "Gánda" return here, so the earlier call is back, but it lands after a denser run of words.
The opening address comes around again, and this time the repetition feels more insistent because we've heard the path back to it.
The "Gula" phrase returns once more, then the foremothers' voice follows it, still held inside the same drum-led pattern.
Here the demand starts to loosen. The song doesn't snap shut; it lets the call thin out while the pulse loses its pull.
