Title
Ndano. 6th Movement, The Call
Performer / Recordist
Description / content note
In this case, the Ndano movement comes before Ngeniso which appears to be unusual. There were 16 dancers and they took their 'call' while away to one side. The order and style of movements is decided by the leader of the orchestra and the leader of the dancers between them and varies from village to village. The words of the verses which underkie this movement are not heard in this recording but only the Tokozela exclamations and cries. Orchestral dance with 6 Timbila, 4 Sanzhe, 1 Debiinda, 1 Gulu and 1 rattle.
