  • Description: This dance song reflects a local tragedy. There was a certain white man, popularly called 'Kawoko', a game warden in this district, they say, who had only one hand. There had been a recent campaign to shoot baboons (in 1949) which were destroying the fields. During the shooting, they allege, he missed the baboons but shot some of the men who were driving the baboons out of the bush. The African beaters also had guns and were shooting and some say it was their eratic shooting which caused the casualities. Three men died that day and Kawoko was blamed as he was in charge of the group. He left the district shortly afterwards. Mcoma dance song for women and girls, with 2 golblet drums, one weighted and whistles (-11.515-)

  • Description: The mask of the male dancer consists of a headpiece covered with sheep's wool, crowned with guibea-fowl feathers and a rag costume of sacking. The male dancer may not approach near the women hence the distance away of the singing chorus. Four drummers provide the rhythm and the assembled women sing the chorus. Kacipapa is the name of the mask in which the principal dancer dances, and gives its name to the dance itself, a ,ask dance. The masked man sings in a feigned falsetto, voice in order to hide his identity from the crowd. The names of the two drums were:- Mpanje-the tall drum; and Mbalwe the Mtiwiso for the larger and smaller goblet drums. There appear to be several versions of the Chinyau dance in central Nyasaland. Kacipapa dance song, Mask dance, danced for obsequies of a dead chief or headman with 2 goblet drums and 2 tall cylindrical drums
