- Description
- The leader is Joni Phiri. "Haye Mwazadi mwanozga." "You have done well to come." The Malipenga dance of the Tonga and other tribes of north central Nyasaland was originated, they say, in military drill where it imitates. With African genius for converting what is normally a drudgery into a game, these Tonga made barrack square drilling into a form of enjoyable dance, with opportunities for all to shine in the grace of their movements. The instruments of the mirliton buzzers so that anyone who can sing a Tonga tune can equally well participate in the Malipenga band. Short gourds or horns are used for the higher pitched voices and longer for the bases. 4 Movements of the Malipenga dance, the first 2 with Chandi and Muganda drums, with 12 singing horns (calabash), 1 bass drum laced, cylindrical with 2 beaters.
