Songs and dances guided tour
Songs and dances in Zambia: Chibale
There are many genres of song and dance in Chibale. Classification based on characteristics and based on genre names is used side by side. The first is variable, while the second is problematic for most people in Chibale. Knowledge of song genre classification in general is poor among non-specialists, leading many to choose a classification based on characteristics. But there’s more. The classification also depends on who starts the song: whether it is a medium, a specialist or a layman who performs his solo line. It is affected by the lightness or heaviness of the song or its performance. It depends on whether songs are considered the same or different. So we will first look into song and dance classification and then we can move on to the articles about the songs and dances in Chibale.
