- Description
- The roaring or grunting in this dance song is a sound peculiar to the Xhosa. The Luo and Giriyama of Kenya also do it and some of the East Coast Swahili, notably in their religious songs. It is possibly a vestigial remain of Arab influence acquired during the tribe's sojourn in East Africa some 500 years ago. Mbayizelo dance song, with clapping.
