- Description
- There is a song first, then a declamation by Williamu Lebyane at 2m 30s with he Siyavuma responses followed by a short song again at 5m 10s. The shricking and general noise all contributes to the pleasureable hysteria associated with this kind of activity. "Makwidi (Bulbul) perch on the bird lime so I can catch you." Bird lime is made from the fruit of a certain tree parasite which is usually found on the marula tree. It is first rolled and masticated in the month and then rolled onto a twig. The Bulbul referred to is the one numbered R-544 in the Roberts 'Birds of South Africa' and is widely distributed throughout Southern Africa. Divination - Siyavuma - game with 3 drums, open, pegged, single head
