- Description
- The drum was played with a stick in the left hand tapping on the side of the drum alternately with the head. The right hand kept up the rythm in the usual way. During this lively performnace the bottle player shattered his bottle into fragments, continuing to beat the neck of the beat which remained in his hand until that too disintegrated under the blows of the six inch nail. At the end of the first item the player dashed off to a nearby hut and produced the next best substitute, a new hoe blade. This recording was made by Nyasa workers at a Citrus Estate near Nelspruit, Eastern Transvaal. Party dance with double headed drum, concertina and bottle.
