Mokoomba - MAKISI (Official Music Video)

MAKISI is the second single of Mokoombas upcoming album “TUSONA“ Every year there is a ceremony “Lukumbi“ that brings together the Luvale people and other guests. Everyone including the chief and his deputies, some government officials and of course, the village beauties join this week of celebration. It’s a huge feast; there is ululation and there is dancing performed by young masked male dancers “Makishi“ (or Makisi) in Ngangela language and by girls who would have undergone the “Wali“ initiation ceremony. For the first time in history the MAKISI masquerade and dancers are featured in a music video. MAKISI is a sacred culture and tradition of the Luval people along the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe and Zambia.
