  • Description: Some very spirited solo performances were put up by individuals who dashed out of a line to take up a new song, each replacing the last man. The first song indicated that the hero of the song had a case to bring. The second, that he should be caught. The third one that he should be held, and so on. Each of the many singers and dancers liked to come out into the ring, shout his individual cries and introduce his own song. The occassional interpolation of a horn was made by blowing through an pld rubber bulb type motor-cycle horn. Mgibo pre-initiation dance with sticks.

  • Description: "I was handcuffed at Kasama by the police, sat down and was taken to the Boma, saying; "I did nothing wrong." But it appears that when he was charged, he said he was guilty and blamed his uncle's wife. She came to give evidence on his behalf but she did not get him off. So he said: "You are the one who must get me off." Bust she did not do so." "You are my relative, you must send me home." In this outburst one can see the childlike faith in the blood relationships eben to the point of working miracles.
