Description: The ritual connected with this Mazungu Shawi calls for a Red hat, and white, red and black cloth. You drink blood and white meal and wear Ndoro beads. In the hand you must hold a Gano, a cross. This 'Soul' appears to be associated with the earliest white men and the Catholic rutual of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when it was first introduced to their part of South eastern Africa. Mazungu was the name first given to the early Portuguese and later to all white men. "When you walk on the path, carry your child on the side, do not leave him on your back, there may be something behind you." Song for the Mazungu with 2 Njari Mbira, one with 33 notes and one with 31.
