- Description: "Piere Dongo the fat man is very fond of reading but he, also, has neither shield nor ostrich feathers. What will he do for mourning when his mother dies? Tell me that! Books cannot take the place of Buni feathers." The playing of drums by these Nilotic people is usually far simpler in rhythm than of the Bantu. It appears to be essential in Luo society near Kisii to have your shield and your ostrich feathers with you when you attend a funeral. Bul dance song for men with Bunde 5 bass drums, laced and Gara leg bells (-12.55-).
