- Description
- The leader shook his shoulders and body during the song, which movement can be heard in his voice. "Drums!" "At Sione they caught a baboon with long hair Maupha's anger! It is father - boy - (untranslatable). Their anger!. It is father 'Manyetse' (long hair). I am the baby boy." Chorus "Siyavuma." The speaker ends each line with the word "Khanya" (light). The frame drum had crossed wires at the back which were used to hold the drum in the left hand. Both drums were of metal and the usual membrane, they say, is either cow or horse hide. Mathuela, diviner's dance song, with small drum (-14.03-), frame drum (-14.92-) and clapping (-12.03-).
