- Description
- It has been noticed that while the flying ants are leaving a nest the soilder ants beat their heads on the ground; a sharp noise will also make them do this. Perhaps the explanation may be found in this direction. Two split holes, called Luwanzo, are taken to an ant hill in the late afternoon during rainy weather and balanced carefully on small bunches of banana fibre. The players then beat out rhythms such as this "To the Queen Ant" so that she will send out her flying ants for the men to catch and eat. They say it works wonderfully. Percussion rhythm, using two Luwanzo poles.
