- Description
- Igumira was a local chief who used to go over into Rwanda and raid tribes there, the Tutsi and the Hutu. The song is now used for dancing the Ekitagururo dance in which mena nd women do a simple rhythmic shuffle with rattles attached to their calves. The rattles are flat containers made of stout grasses inside which wild canna seeds are thrown to and fro. They are held flat between the palms while the fingers may tap the lower side to enhance the main pulses or to syncopate the rhythm. Ekitagururo dance song, with conical drums, laced, single, played with sticks, and three earthenware pots and raft rattles.
