Sista visits the grief of an African family losing a beloved child, as well as the deep connection to the spirit world of the ancestors, which makes it possible for family and friends to carry on after her death. Polyphonic layers of song in the finale reflect the polyrhythmic nature of the traditional Ghanaian music which helped inspire this piece. Duration ca. 5 minutes 30 seconds.
