- Description: A dance for festive occasions. The Buudu is a Bantu tribe which has moved across westwards from the Rwenzori mountains about 300 miles to the present locality. They are unusually dark skinned for Bantu and use a variety of musical instruments, relying mostly on slit drums for their dance music. Slit drums are common because large timber is plentiful but cattle or antelope skins rare for the making of membranes. The membranes of their conical drums are therefore usually made from elephant ears. Party dance with two conical drums, snall slit drum, two pod drums, ivory horn, basket rattles and two metal hand bells.
