	Taita feature articles - Ngoma Healing Ritual - Traditional Music & Cultures of Kenya
		Whereas all other Taita tribes used the Ngoma drums recognized by Janzen, they used a board (Mugongo) and sticks (Mlingo)- the former being the instrument in which the sticks were driven onto by the players in a steady quarter note pattern to accompany the voices of the dancers.
		The survival of the ngoma ritual is crucial for them, and they said it must exist for their community to retain its culture.
		The explanation the healer's son provided for the cause of a person falling was that the excitement generated by the music overtook them and maybe "raised their blood pressure." The healer will then carry over a container with water to be poured over the patient's neck and follow by applying a treatment of herbs.

		'Ngoma' literally translated means 'drum' and is a term used to encompass all local traditional forms of dancing, drumming and singing.
		"Ngoma ya kibati" for example, consists of a very rapid declamatory style of singing which is an improvised dialogue to drum accompaniment with singers/dancers coming in for a chorus every so often.
		Each ngoma style has its own special costume: in "kyaso", men dance dressed in shirts and kikois (special woven cloth from the Kenyan coast) with a long, narrow stick in their hand, all movements beautifully coordinated.

	H-Net Review: Peter Crossman on The Quest for Fruition through Ngoma: The Political ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Given the editors' intention to critically engage with Janzen's hypothesis on ngoma, it is only fair that they have allowed Janzen himself the opportunity to respond to the other contributors in an 'Afterword,' in itself a valuable retractiones_ (an up-dated review, not a retraction) of his own work and views.
		While Jonkers stresses the continuity of the political nature inherent to therapeutic ngoma institutions and these churches, Rijk van Dijk points rather to a major shift in spatio-temporal conceptualization where the fundamentalist, so-called Born-Again, movements in Malawi are concerned.
		And one wonders whether the authors have not kicked in an open door inasmuch as Janzen himself described "ngoma as an institution, in the tradition of Durkheim, Weber and Marx" (1992:173) and even invited research on the evident political dimension of ngoma.
