  • Description: "How do you do chief, we greet you by playing bells. Before we go do our dance we need charms to help us." A song sung before dancing. Dancing among the Sukuma is often a matter of competition between teams, the size of the audience attracted to watch each team indicating their relative popularity. Charms are frequently used to give them luck and skill, they say, in dancing. The melody of this song is memorable and beautifully balanced, it reminds one of the old English song. "One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow." Wigasha dance song for men.

  • Description: Secret socities, charms and occult ideas are an everyday part of the lives of the Sukuma people. Charms and counter charms to a people who know no physical chain of cause and effect and only a vague one, are still considered valuable. The Wigasha dance is performed sitting down with most of the action confined to stretching up the arms and twisting the torso. The team of dancers performs routine actions in unision with arms and body. The song reflects the considerable ability of Sukuma people to compose and sing intricate songs.
