- Description
- "Dead bodies become earth." This song reflects the European, Christian 'earth to earth' conception. The two sets of bells worn on either leg are called:- Mangala yi mulalula which are the high noted bells and Mangala ingahola which are the low noted bells. Dance songs are composed from the simplest factual material, in this case from the fact that the local District Commissioner of Iringa had been transferred. Viwunga dance song for men, with Nduntsi and Ndamula single headed, open pegged hourglass drums, and Mangala bells (-12.55-).
