Baakisimba

Gender in the Music and Dance of the Baganda People of Uganda

Originally a royal court dance, "baakisimba" asserted the authority of the king as the head of Baganda society. Integrating a study of the performance genre with a detailed analysis of gender among the Baganda, this book illuminates the complex relationship between "baakisimba" and Baganda culture.
