Batons (dance)

Historical main catalogue: "mudjungu". 2 bamboo canes of different lengths, open at one end. Used when men and women dance together. A man holds one of the canes in each hand and pushes them alternately to the ground, first the shorter one, then the longer one. In large gomes, several men push 2 pipes each onto the floor in time.
