Chadzunda (right) and Maria are the most important characters in the

Gule Wamkulu, the Great Dance of the Chewa. They are the mother and

father of all and the perfect harmonious couple.

Wonderful. These pictures deserve a wider audience on photo.net. The leaping dancers are beautifully caught in mid-air.
