- Description: The Malipenga dance of the Tonga and other tribes of north central Nyasaland was originated, they say, in military drill which it imitates. With African genius for converting what is normally a drudgery into a game, these Tonga made barrack square drilling into a form of enjoyable dance, with opportunities for all to shine in the grace of their movements. The instruments of the military band have been substituted by singing horns- with mirliton buzzers- so that anyone who can sing a Tonga tune can equally well participate in the Malipenga band. Short gourds or horns are used for the higher pitched voices and longer for the basses. 2nd and 3rd Movement of the Malipenga dance with bass drum (mine type), pegged, closed, wooden beaters and 1 small cylindrical drum, pegged, closed and wooden beaters.
