Description: The verses sung by the dancers in their own village are not quite the same as those I first wrote down and published in "Chopi Musicians". It emphasies the point that verses may be dropped or others added during the lifetime of the song. There is no rule to say that a lyric shall always be sung as at first composed. The leader can 'call' what verses he pleases. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones.
