Kilumi, Kamba

Kilumi is a traditional drum song and dance performed by women from the Kamba community. The dance is comprised of two kilumi drums that are accompanied by ululations and singing of the lead singer who is usually backed by two or more other women vocalists. The drummers sing too. A single session of Kilumi dance can last about half an hour.
