- Description: The Ebi dance has several variations which all follow the general pattern of a circular dance file. The men take the inner circle and the girls the outer, and the drums are outside the ring. The traditional dress for the men is a black or black and red loin cloth made of bark fibre. This is passed between the legs and up over the hips to the waist. It is held in place by a belt and the stiff cloth when properly set gives the impression of a large black tulip in which the mans torso rides on 2 legs. The most attractive feature of these Mangbetu style dance is the bright scarlet headress of the dancers made of tail feathers of the Congo grey parrot. They are a great treasure to these people, feathers representing part of the token payment of a bride's 'lobolo' or bride 'dowry'. They are said to represent a sign of wealth or social position in the tribe. Ebi dance with 1 large wodden cylindrical slit drum, 2 small wooden cylindrical slit drums, 2 wooden pod drums, 2 large conical laced drums, 1 double metal bell.
