They speak of these Mbuti pygmies as Mbutu, a local variation of the pronunciation. Most of the native notables, chiefs and other functionaries are carried around the country from place to place in sedan chairs locally called "tipoyi". The carriers have evolved their oen 'tipoyi' songs and dances. Song and dance with ivory horn basket rattles (-12.54-) and small bell (-12.55-).
