Description / content note
-
Girls invite other girls of different villages to come and dance with them at the time of harvesting when they sing and dance the kasodo together. Luwanika, the name of the Northern Rhodesian Lozi paramount Chief is invoked, as a famous name but for no other specific reason, except that locally in Dedza, Luwanika has a ficitious reputation for making magic medicines according to these simple and distant people...a kind of wizard of oz - 'whiz of a wizzard!' "Luwanika, to dance you must have strong legs." Kasodo girls dance, with clapping.
