- Description
- The women's dance was slow and graceful, and consisted of advancing and retiring in pairs, raising and lowering their large horse-tail fly-whisks. "Kabulu" in Nyakyusa is derived, they say, from the word meaning to "ululate". During the dance they call out "we are proud of Tukuyu, we are proud we have come." All the drums were locally made on the mine, from oil drums. They were double-headed and laced. Mampenenga and Kalulu dance with 1 conical drum, laced, 2 cylindrical laced drums with wooden beaters.
