| Description: | This is the second of a series of video recording made during the first celebration of a ritual reception the Ngun villagers wanted to grant Pierpaolo Di Carlo.This video file has been shot with a fixed camera mounted on top of a small mound at the edge of the Ngun palace square. The first part is dominated by the performance of mbolo, a song genre typical of women, whose topics include mostly gossips about villagers' life (but also, importantly, old songs composed by now-dead villagers). At the end of this long mbolo performance, three masks enter the arena: these are gb1, gbE, and f1ndZibaN. Masks worn by children (gbE and gb1, the former covered with leaves, the latter with a blackish garment) or boys (f1ndZibaN) run throughout the palace square recalling people that there is a stranger, a guest of honor. Thereafter a performance of k@bam nyam is carried out. This is a song genre, reportedly a very old one, where the solo singer (who typically has "bought" the right to play the k@bam, i.e. the ndenge-like string instrument he holds) sings songs mostly of sorrow. | |
