- Description
- "My love Marrite has been taken away. I will send my friend Morani to fetch her. Morani will go to the mission by night." The fine Marrite dance was started by Marrite who dances better than her father. "Show me the way to the court, so that I may report the man who stole my Marrite." These Meru people are among the most handsome in Africa and were a brave sight in their beautiful costumes with their bright beads, their six foot long spears and pastel coloured shields. The setting, upon the slopes of Mount Meru was also exhilarating in a green sward set among the large forest trees. Marrite dance song for men and women.
