Description: This dance song reflects a local tragedy. There was a certain white man, popularly called 'Kawoko', a game warden in this district, they say, who had only one hand. There had been a recent campaign to shoot baboons (in 1949) which were destroying the fields. During the shooting, they allege, he missed the baboons but shot some of the men who were driving the baboons out of the bush. The African beaters also had guns and were shooting and some say it was their eratic shooting which caused the casualities. Three men died that day and Kawoko was blamed as he was in charge of the group. He left the district shortly afterwards. Mcoma dance song for women and girls, with 2 golblet drums, one weighted and whistles (-11.515-)
