- The performer, a Tutsi man, recounts imaginary exploits to amuse the chief. A common custom amongst the Tutsi who have competitions of this sort in order to decide which is the most gifted narrator. An interesting recording for linguists. The recitation is introduced by a short praise cry by the people standing nearby. Recitation
