- Description
- "Kikuyu's pen." The Moran is the attractive Nandi dance where they link arms in a circle and step sideways to the music while others enter the ring and leap like a coiled spring straight into the air. It requires few words to keep the rhythm going. The words in this case, they said, had little meaning referring possibly to pen weilded by a certain Kikuyu clerk. They rise steadily in pitch during the song. Moran dance song for men.
