Performer / Recordist
Description / content note
This dance is performed at full moon, an old Zande custom. The Borassus palm bells are made from the hard shell of the fruit, one end being sawn off for this purpose. Two short lengths of stick are hung inside the shell and the result is similar in shape and size to cow bells used in many countries of the world. Ths size of these Zande Akiri bells was approximately three and half long and three broad. Zande dance with Bugu slit drum, 3 Ndimu double headed, conical cross laced drums, metal hand bells, and Akiri bells made of the borassus palm with wooden clappers.
