- Description
- "Black cloth may not be worn by a woman who is about to have a child, she may use any other coloured cloth but not black." Such simple sentences revealing local etiquette are quite enough to inspire a local dance song. The Chokwe are more renowned for their beautiful chip carving than for their music -- much of it sung in organum.
