- Description
- Who are we going to dance with? Today we dance with women because Mahlelela is very fond of women, refusing to dance with the girls. When Mahlalela dances in his big "Scotch" hat his head wobbles from side to side, and people laugh "Chekula, chekula. elewee." In the 1920's the autoharp was the most popular of foreign manufactured unstruments, several hundred thousand having been sold to Africans in South Africa alone. It then suffered a sharp decline and today in 1963 very few can be found except among the Pedi where a few are still played. Topical song with Autoharp, 2 small drums, made of tins with rubber heads and 1 rattle
