- Description
- "Uhimila was so fine a dancer that even Kihimyali would bow down and clap his hands." All African tribes seem to idolize their good dances. The cutting of cicatrices on the face is accompanied by songs such as these, and by festivities and dancing. There is a local breed of fowls which have no feathers on their necks and very red skin. The song refers to a certain diviner who used to smear his face and neck with red earth. The people of the village can be heard chatting and laughing during the song, and a bird can be heard in the background of the second song. Ucheyeki song for cutting cicatrices.
