If there should be a prey, the family knew the men in the village well dron could play and had knowledge about it. They knew that women knew the songs, so they were all invited. <br />On the evening went as follows: the men played the dron, and the women walked around in the queue sang songs. A woman sang a song for (Troki) and the people in line answers her (piki) <br />-snip-<br />I think "Winti formations" here means professional bands that play for Winti Preys. I also think that "drons" here means "musical instruments" and "Troki" and "pika" mean "call and response" singing. <br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-84033038780548681712016-04-04T12:09:28.213-04:002016-04-04T12:09:28.213-04:00The shuffling, counterclockwise circular movements...The shuffling, counterclockwise circular movements that the Winti Pré participants perform remains me of African American religious ring shouts.<br /><br />Click <a href="http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2013/05/african-american-ring-shouts-origins.html" rel="nofollow">http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2013/05/african-american-ring-shouts-origins.html</a> for a pancocojams post on ring shouts.
