- Description
- The extended fingers of each hand are marked off to accompany the words by closing each in turn, starting with the little finger of the left hand, then the same of the right, ending by clapping the closed hands together. There are several counting songs which are variations of this. It is not at all well-known in Gwembe and Sinazongwe, however. Whilst this was being recorded, a group of small girls discovered they could use the hub caps and bumber of the car as a mirror and after admiring themselves began to dance to their reflections.
