- Description
- One of the Mashawi 9souls) dances. The Mujukwa are considered in the local mythology to represent the entities who act as go-betweens, or media, between man and the High-God: Especially in connection with their pleading for rain. Some would call them 'Angels'. The dances and songs of the Majukwa are therefore intended to concentrate attention upon aspect of social necessity. Rain, without which the people would perish. With the opening up of communications by white people the effects of draught and subsequent famine have been lessened and therefore the cult or belief in Majukwa and their functions has been proportianately diminished. A Majukwa dance with 3 Dumba drums, 1 Nyeri flute, leg rattles and clapping.
