Description / content note
The player is a cripple who is well known in the district for his playing of the musical bow, which he frequently does for dances. The words sung by this cripple player are most indistinct, as he has no teeth. The tune is used in the Kazori dance performed in lines in front of the drums, girls in a double line and boys in another double line behind. The lines keep time with the music and leap and move to left and right together. Kazori dance song for men and women, with Ndono one string musical bow and tin rattle (-12,54-).
