PARTY TIME - DANCING & SINGING WITH TRIBALS


Puran From Shilla is always in the lead when there is a music and dance party. Jesper from Denmark joins in.		Anita from Denmark is a brilliant dancer and singer. She quickly picks up the tribal dance style and adds her own flavor.



The dancers show up in their traditional dresses. Each village has its own design		Dancing and ritualized fighting with swords




Here our western Charlies Angels show up in the local dresses of Shilla.		But you don't need to follow the dress code to join the dance.



And in the center of the celebration you will always find a big camp fire		The fire will burn the hole night and so will the party.



Dance is an expression of joy. Here Sanjay (left) is going for the ball		Here we see the orchestra. Ulrich to the right is playing congas in Latin style. It blends very well into the local beats.



Never attend a Shilla party without a good blow in the horn.		Here a music lesson is taking place. The first blow normally sounds like and elephant with diarrhea.



East meets west around the fire.		Here we have the beautiful women in their colorful dresses.




Singing happens very spontaneously as an expression of feeling. Often a chorus will answer.		Hand clapping in advanced beats.



A group photo of the dance troop		Their dance follows certain rules in intimate coordination with the music.



Here Asha is joining the circkle		Hi Sanjay! Are you enjoying yourself?



Singing is not restricted to party time. Here Ram Lal is singing. The beauty of the nature in Tunda Bhuj compels him to do so.
