Surugede: A Dance of the Spirits
Dancing with the Djembe, what a magical sight,
Where tales of spirits and sacrifice take flight.
In ancient festivals, traditions held dear,
Legends of deities and rituals appear.
The Djembe's beat, like a heart's gentle call,
Echoes through the night, captivating all.
Whispers of evil spirits, lurking in the shade,
Shared by wise elders, memories never fade.
Around the fire's glow, stories are unfurled,
Of brave warriors and battles that once twirled.
To please the deities, sacrifices were made,
A solemn act, keeping darkness at bay.
The dancers, entranced, move with grace and might,
Guided by the Djembe's rhythm, their spirit takes flight.
Their movements tell stories, of strength and strife,
Honouring the spirits, bringing balance to life.
Let us remember, these tales of old,
Carry history's weight, traditions to uphold.
Though blood sacrifices may seem harsh and grim,
They reflect beliefs, a cultural hymn.
So as we dance with the Djembe, let's embrace,
The beauty of these stories, the spirits' grace.
In festivals and rituals, a connection we find,
To the past and present, a shared bind.
Dancing with the Djembe, a celebration so grand,
Where legends come alive, forever to withstand.
Through rhythm and movement, we honour the past,
Creating new stories that forever will last.
