- Description
- The Mampenenga is danced in silence to the accompaniment of the drums. The dancers, all men wore long Swahili "Kikoye" or skirts. The bass drummer uses one of his sticks as a pressure stick occassionally to raise the note on the membrane. The dance is a form of slow graceful prancing with much bending of the kness and swinging, raising and lowering of fly-whisks in the right hand. Mampenenga and Kalulu dance with 1 conical drum, laced, 2 cylindrical laced drums with wooden beaters.
