Description / content note
-
"He is weeping for his palm trees which have been taken by others, although he planted them, it as a punishment for what he has done." An unusual kind of song no doubt overlooked on account of the Timbila music. All the people standing around began to join with the song as it was clearly well known. The player had equipped himself with a couple of sprigs of shrub with about half a dozen long and slender dry seed pods. This he used as a gentle rattle for accompaniment. It was the first of its kind I had seen. Lament with Seed Pod rattle.
