Summary:
The video clip shows Louis Sarno talking about Ejengi spirit dances, and is part of a series of video interviews with Louis that were recorded in April 2012. Ejengi is a Bayaka male initiation dance, spirit and ceremony. The ejengi spirit is entirely clothed in sweeping palm fronds and assumes mesmerising swirling and cascading dance forms.
