- Description
- Lesu, the composer of this song was a martinet in matters of dance dress. He would turn away dancers who were not properly equipped. Well dressed dancers would be brought out in front as an example for others to copy. A Meru dance is most colourful. The girls being adorned with coloured bead necklets and both men and women paint patterns in ochre colours on their faces, from vermillion to ultramarine. The complex structure of this song is most interesting and elusive. Ufina dance song for men and women.
