- Description
- These loose note xylophones are played by three ad sometimes four men sitting on either side of the instrument. The Zande dance is performed in a circle to the cheerful sound of the xylophone. All the dancers move in union with small steps in a set pattern which ensures that the circle moves around gradually in an anti-clockwise direction. A characteristic gesture by Zande dancers is the holding out of the hands, palms upwards gently raising and lowering the forearms in time with the music. Zande dance with Kponingbo xylophone.
