在美丽的维多利亚湖之南,在浩森的印度洋西岸,居住着坦桑尼亚一百三十多个部族的人民。他们不仅有自己传统的生活方式,而且有源远流长的古老文化,其中尤以丰富多采的部族歌舞闻名于世。在坦桑尼亚国语斯瓦希利语中,恩戈玛(NGOMA)一词,就是对于这类部族歌舞艺术的统称,它的意思是鼓和舞。可见,鼓和舞的紧密结合,既是对这类部族歌舞基本面貌的形象描绘,也是对其主要特色的精确概括。 On the beautiful south of Lake Victoria, on the west bank of the Indian Ocean in Hohsen, there are over 130 tribal peoples in Tanzania. They not only have their own traditional way of life, but also has a long history of ancient culture, especially the rich and colorful tribal song and dance is world-famous. In the Swahili language of Tanzania, the term NGOMA refers to the art of tribal song and dance, which means drumming and dancing. It can be seen that the close combination of drums and dance is not only an image portrayal of the basic features of such tribal song and dance, but also an accurate summary of its main features.
