content: Edited film: a film analysis of an orchestra consisting of ivory wind instruments and drums. Originally it was the orchestra's task to help inspire the chief warrior of the village for battle and to honor him after his victorious return from the war. These events are still imitated on festive occasions today, performed by a descendant of the last great warrior.
