Dancing with the Ngwazi
Kamuzu Academy Gule Wamkulu Project

Part I - Gule Wamkulu in the Village

In Part I of this series we introduce Traditional Authority Chinyama and seven Senior Group Village and Village Headmen who are mwini nkhole (i.e. they have authority to perform their own Gule Wamkulu).

 

Chiefs and Anamkungwi (advisers) welcome us to their village and present a selection of their Gule Wamkulu.

For each video there are two links: to the Video itself and to the Table of Contents.

Indices of Masks and Structures of Gule Wamkulu and Dances for Women and Girls are available here.
