- Description
- "We are the Tipoyi carriers of the Chief." This song was performed by the tipoyi carriers of Chief Ebandrombi. In this heavily wooded country of central and north eastern Congo most of the Chiefs, notables and officials use the sedanchair as their principal means of transport along the narrow forest paths. This is an attractive melody reminiscent of melodies composed by the Bemba of Northern Rhodesia which are also characterized by singing in parallel thirds. Work song with basket rattle.
