- Description
- The singers belonged to the Lindimbi group or regiment. The chant is one of these performed in their barracks when dancing is over. It seems each regiment has many such chants. They accompany the military exercises or drill by which the young men used to keep themselves in fighting trim. The chant with its frequent changes of rhythms which mark the change to a different movement. This performance was very well done. The men were all between the ages of 18 and 30, and belonged to the age group Lindimbi. They perform a number of movements, leaping forward and backward, tuning into file, marching around in a circle and many other actions. It is a most attractive dance drill. ENTONJENI is the old royal kraal. The hill nearby is still used as a burial ground for some members of the royal lineage. Tiga chant to accompany military games or drill.
