Dancing with the Ngwazi
Kamuzu Academy Gule Wamkulu Project

In Part II of this series our scope is broader. We look first at a number of special occasions in and around Mtunthama at which the Great Dance is performed and then, because the Great Dance is characterised also by the free movement of people and ideas throughout the Chewa World, beyond Mtunthama to Kasungu, the rest of Malawi and even 'Beyond the Lake' - to Zambia and Mozambique. We conclude by presenting a number of representative examples of the traditional cultures of peoples who are contiguous to the Chewa.
