Son,ali Fond of Song

Musical instruments-even the
tomtom, so dear to the heart Of most
African natives-are unknown to
the Somali, who, none the less, take
great pleasure in singing and dane
ing. Their songs are not by any
means casual chants, but have spe-
cial significance. and are ap-
plicable to certain occasions. For
example, there is a "Song of
Thanksgiving for the finding of
water, after long Journey" and
songs for the loading and unload
ing of caravans, but most of their
music is of religious nature; and
there Is "Song of Burial" sung
when the 2O-fOOt mound is raised
above the remains of q chief and
fenced around with a strong pail
SADIE Of logs placed transversely be-
tween stout posts. OF all their
dances the Somali place the war
dance first.

felt that someone else could give
it more than We could afford. l

had to stay at home"
