Description: The item starts with the sound of the double bell and a weighted drum, follwed by the recitative statement by the leader. Eventually the full chorus begins with a simple repeated refrain. The pauses in the drum rhythm mark the moment when one of the drummers throws up his drum into the air, catches it again betwenn his knees and continues the rhythm without losing tempo. It is a clever piece of showmanship and clearly enjoyed by the participators in the dance. Mambala dance song with 5 goblet drums, closed, pinned, weighted, with mirlitons, hand beaten and 1 double bell and basket rattle.
