Sir, please tell me about BaTonga customs

Regina Munkuli interviews Mr. Mwinde, Historian at Chief Siansali’s Court, about the traditional tribal identification which was customary among Batonga women, namely the removal of the front six teeth. Regina then asks about the traditional marriage among the Batonga and Samuel Mwinde describes in detail how, and through whom a marriage was arranged between two families. The interview also briefly touches upon the performance of Ngoma Buntibe; Mr Mwinde explains that traditionally, it is played to honour a married man who has passed on, mainly, for a chief or headman. Traditionally, it is only performed in the context of a funeral.
