- Description
- Gebede, gebede is the sound of putting ones things together and the banging together of boxes preparing for a journey. This said to be the most typical of all the Mang'anja dances. "Pack, pack, to go and not come back is like the journey when you do not say goodbye." Chitsukulumwe dance with gourd rattles, drums and clapping.
