It consists of a number of simple rhythmic steps. The sound of the drums and whistle overshadows the voices in the recording, which in fact is the impression gained by spectators outside the circle of dancers. Saca dance song for boys and girls with two Maanje goblet drums, clapping (-12.03-) and whistles (-11.515-)

  • Description: The hymn is typical of those which are now being compiled by separatist congregations. Most of the melodies have been absorbed, digested and handed on in the oral folk tradition, so that it is now nearly impossible to trace their parentage. With each succeeding generation they appear to become more and more African in spirit and execution. 2 Hymns
