CHIMTALI

Chimtali is a women‟s dance in which dancers perform in a circle surrounding
drummers. Traditionally, the chimtali uses one big round double-headed drum and two
drummers who play different rhythms on the same drum; one maintaining the general
pulse and the other playing according to the dance steps.
In the Chewa communities where this research was conducted this dance is called
chimtala. Although it is difficult to determine the correct name for the dance, almost
all conservative Chewa communities prefer the name chimtala to chimtali. Studying
closely the two titles of the dance - chimtala and chimtali - one finds more
convenience in the use of the latter rather than the former terminology because of the
syllables -tali. In Chichewa, these syllables form the root for English words “tall” or
“long,” an expression that is in common usage. On the other hand, the root -tala as in
chimtala poses a challenge in meaning especially to modern Chichewa speakers in
reference to this dance.
