  • Description: The leg rattles are made out of the hard shell fruit of the Vitanta tree. It is an edible fruit which is picked when ripe, boiled in a pot and then the seeds are extracted through a small hole at the spot where the stem joins the fruit. It is then dried. A number of pin head size holes are made in the sides "to let the sound out" , they say, a second hole is made opposite the stem hole and the shell are then filled with canna seeds or small stones and strung onto sticks. Four rows of shells of about 6-8 each are needed to make one leg rattle which is attached to the calf of the leg by two straps, one below the knee and the other at the ankle. Mbanda dance song with Malaza leg rattles.
