Performer / Recordist: Abisolom Abunda and Luo men; Tracey, Hugh
Subject: Folk music--Africa; Folk music--Kenya; Luo (Kenya and Tanzanian people); Field recordings
Description / content note: Bolo achieved an unenviable reputation for having neither shield nor ostrich feathers, and for being an univited guest at drinking parties. The playing drums by these Nilotic people is usually far simpler in rhythm than that of the Bantu. It appears to be essential in Luo society near Kisii to have your shield and your ostrich feathers with you when you attend a funeral. Bul dance song for men with Bunde 5 bass drums, laced and Gara leg bells (-12.55-).
