Dancing and Music

Adumu, better known as the jumping dance, is just one in a series of rituals that make up the Eunoto, the ceremony in which the junior warriors, or Morani, graduate to the ranks of manhood. Maasai tribesmen often perform an abbreviated version of The Adumu, like this performance for tourists in Zanzibar. (15)
