  • Description: An equivalent story to one in Southern Rhodesia. There were three girls who went to the river to get water. They had big strings of beads but one forgot her beads down by the river and when she got home she told her brothers and asked them to take her back to the river to look for them. They refused, so she went alone. She found a hyena who had taken her beads and put them inside a drum and then when she arrived he caught her and put her inside the drum also. He then went to the village to play the drum. The people of the village heard her singing inside the drum. They cooked food and gave it to the hyena who, as soon as he had eaten the food began to play the drum. He went to another village and did the same. The girl inside the drum got very hot but eventually her brothers saved her by cutting open the drum and the hyena diasppeared. A were-wolf story. Nthano story.

  • Description: The mask of the male dancer consists of a headpiece covered with sheep's wool, crowned with guibea-fowl feathers and a rag costume of sacking. The male dancer may not approach near the women hence the distance away of the singing chorus. Four drummers provide the rhythm and the assembled women sing the chorus. Kacipapa is the name of the mask in which the principal dancer dances, and gives its name to the dance itself, a ,ask dance. The masked man sings in a feigned falsetto, voice in order to hide his identity from the crowd. The names of the two drums were:- Mpanje-the tall drum; and Mbalwe the Mtiwiso for the larger and smaller goblet drums. There appear to be several versions of the Chinyau dance in central Nyasaland. Kacipapa dance song, Mask dance, danced for obsequies of a dead chief or headman with 2 goblet drums and 2 tall cylindrical drums
