Congo Folklore -- One of the some twenty characters in the Mbuya dance of the Bapende tribe... An African Folklore 'play'. He wears a white-painted mask, Pigtails, and carries a basket filled with dried seeds and an Antelope horn. The Folklore of Africa lies, not in books, but in the Rhythmic Tribal dances that are handed down from generation to generation. the origins of the dance steps, the gestures and the sometimes fearful looking costumes are deep in the past, and deal with drought and rain.
