- Description: "A certain man had a daughter who wanted to marry a young man, but the father refused. So she went to her lover and said, in Swahili, that her father had agreed to the marriage." 'To talk Swahaili' is synonymous with 'telling lies', the Meru say, as they have a rooted suspicion of interpreters who for the benefit of Europeans and others translate their language into another which they do not understand. (The Bemba of Northern Rhodesia use the word 'Chichawa' the language of the Yao in similiar sense). These Meru people are among the most handsome in Africa and were a brave sight in their beautiful costumes with their bright beads, their six foot long spears and pastel coloured shields. The setting, upon the slopes of Mount Meru was also exhilarating in a green sward set among the large forest trees. Ufina dance song for men and women.
