- Description: Clapping accampanied by a rapping on the drums greeted Chief Botha whenever he appeared. Each dance song began with the boys kneeling, singing each into his cupped hand, bobbing and swaying to the rhythm whilst the girls stood nearby, exactly like in the previous item. At a given signal the boys rose and went on dancing standing up. The word "Gubura" is pronounced "GHUBUKHA" (Kh as in loch). The peculiar leopard like snarl, or cough or grunt which the Xhosa make in their throats is noticeable throughout these songs. They are very fond of making it out of context, just as an exclamation. Gubura dance for young people.
