- Description
- "We have handcuffed them, we of Linga Boma. Although you are proud today, you will see!" The dancers go in groupd called Boma and challenge each other in the dance and in singing with with the Malipenga horns and boast about their performances. The Malipenga were all made out of gourds with mirlton membranes over the small end. The sound quality of the bass singers was good owing to their use of the gourds of adequate size and shape. Their song is a familiar type of boasting to be found among dance teams in most parts of Africa familiar to us. Muganda dance (part 3) with tweleve Malipenga singing horns and drum.
