TONGA DANCERS


TONGA TRADITIONAL DANCERS PERFORMING TRIBAL DANCES DURING PRESIDENT MWANAWASA'S FUNERAL AT LIVINGSTONE AIRPORT.
IT IS CULTURAL FOR THE TONGA TO DANCE AND SING LIKE THIS EVEN AT A FUNERAL. IT IS PART FO THEIR CULTURE.
THEY DANCE WITH LONG SPEARS IN THEIR HANDS

Yes its ILA and Tonga. I was hurriedly uploading right on site using my GPRS connection while in Livingstone.
I apologise for the mix.

Thank you for the correction.

Best regards
