Description / content note
-
The subjects of these short dance songs, such as this, they say, may be lazy people who do not weed their gardens or banana plantations or those who drink too much banana beer. The eight horn blowers stand in a row with the women opposite them while the dancers strut in between. The Engwara horns are built up of sections of gourds bound together with plantain string and re-inforced longitudinally by lathes of bamboo. The are side blown and have a hole at the small end so as to produce two notes each. They vary in size from about 12 inches to approximately 36 inches. Engwara N'orunyege dance song for men, with Engwara side blown horns, Ebinyege rattles and clapping.
