- Description
- The simple facts of life like the 'hotness' of chillies or the strength of liquor is quite enough to establish a dance melody. The women of this region appear to have a distinctive and separate musical life. "Brandy from the bottle I do not drink because I find it too hot for me." Chillies are sometimes added to the drink as flavouring. Kacaso, it was explained, meant any strong drink and from the women's point of view this also included bottled beer. Chintala dance.
