- Description
- The roaring sound towards the end is produced by the lips and cheeks of the women and is not produced in the throat, (as the Xhosa do.) The women usually use a gourd when making this sound, holding their mouths into the orifice of the gourd. They appear to blow through their pursed lips first on one side and then on the other, alternately. No gourds were used on this occasion. This item which was recorded at the Wankie Colliery several hundred miles from the district of origin of the performers, appears to have been influenced by foreign mission techniques, especially in the incorrect iambic stress at the end of lines.
