Track 14 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.
'Ritual Burial Dance', an African piece, features Mayinda Orawo, a highly respected chief of the Luos who is also known as the Hippo Man.
He is heard here playing a repeated pattern drum. The gourd horns, flutes, rattles and whistles create the mournful wailing of sorrow.
