Nanga
Music & Dance with Grime Safaris
Nanga music is a special kind of Acholi music arranged by Grime Safaris that is majorly/strictly created by the elderly/mature Acholi men from the age of 45 years and above.
Why is it
that the Acholi people prohibit the Acholi young ones from doing the Nanga
music or dance? Nanga music is a kind of music that normally is attributed to
pain, sorrow, suffering, worries e.t.c. Acholi people believed that the youths
or children are still too young to bare or persevere some painful stories,
songs and instead only the adults of 45 and above can perform the Nanga Music
or Dance in Acholi. Some nanga music are also used for mentorship, training the
young Acholi community, general community, addressing social problems among
others.
