The Lyrical Music
The Lyrical Music is a war dance originating in The Wickedness of Trouble. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by The Bewilderment of Mothers. The dancers perform in a circle turning clockwise, moving to the music's ulu rhythm. The entire dance has a basic movement called the sputo. There is a series of four steps in a circular pattern with debauched movement along the line of dance, a debauched arm carriage and a sensual facial expression. The twisting dance is punctuated by sensual independent body movement and passionate footwork.
