Description / content note
This dance was performed by the married women standing in a circle. In the second part of the song they say: "The person who grinds the corn for the beer has a lot to say."- Some of the women had painted their faces with pale yellow ochre.- They wore pale blue blankets, were lavishly decorated with beads, mostly in sky blue and white, wore calf length beaded skirts, and a great many brass wire bracelets. In some cases, the typical headring was made of a leather strap (a dog's collar) studded with brass studs, edged and fringed with sky blue and white beads. Umgouzo girl's initiation dance.
