  • Description: The song is in praise of a man who has many lovers. This song and the following one were sung by a group of very beautifully dressed young people, the men dancers elegantly blanketed and beaded, the girls wearing pale ochre skirts with many rows of indigo blue braid and their headcloths of indingo blie wool were folded about their heads to form a tall tubular headdress rather like that of Queen Nefertiti. Before the recording started, but whilst the singers were "warming up" there was rather a curious little ceremony which forms part of the dance. One of the girls went around removing the men dancers's headcloths revealing their head bead ornaments. She put their headcloths on her own head, then returned to the line of girls and gave each girl her own young mans' headcloth, which was then tied round the girl's head. A stick specially decorated for dancing is called "Libunguza." Intolombe dance for young people with clapping.
