UGANDA. Madi musician. The Madi dancers are a group of picked men, all of whom must kill a leopard with their spear to prove hunting prowess. They dance whenever occassion demands - to celebrate a successful hunt, the end of the cotton buying season, or at the death of an important chief. Dancers wear leopard-skins, ostrich plume and shell of shell head-dresses and brass bells around their ankles. The women dance and chant in high shrill voices to urge the men into a higher frenzy. 1958.
