- Description
- Sung by the girls after the initiation ceremonies are over. They dress up in skins and wear small mirrors and go about among the houses and people, dancing and asking for presents. The initiation school lasts for two months and follows much the same lines as those of the Tswana. Many young Africans from Kenya southwards use metal whistles for their dances, blowing them continously as in this item; the result is deafening to the audience but apparently most enjoyable to the young who seem to be impervious to the noise. "Stop bewitching people. Kerishe is gone." Kerishe is the name of a man who was driven away from Thabakgolo because it was thought that he disturbed (bewitched) people. Three girls post-initiation song with 2 drums, leg rattles and whistles
