Description / content note
-
Secret socities, charms and occult ideas are an everyday part of the lives of the Sukuma people. Charms and counter charms to a people who know no physical chain of cause and effect and only a vague one, are still considered valuable. The Wigasha dance is performed sitting down with most of the action confined to stretching up the arms and twisting the torso. The team of dancers performs routine actions in unision with arms and body. The song reflects the considerable ability of Sukuma people to compose and sing intricate songs.
