- Description
- Dance tunes with the minimum of melodic inspiration to evoke the dance. The bass drum was beaten by two women, one on each side of the drum opposite each other. The song consists mostly of references to the names of local persons. Such as OMwale, Ojere, OPhiri etc., each with the tonorific prefix 'O'. The equivalent of the English "Mister". Dance tune with bass drum.
