Kisama, December 4 (MTNews): The Khensa Culture Club, Mokokchung representing the Ao Nagas performed Nokinketer Yar (Warrior’s Dance) during “Cultural Connect” event on Day 4 of Hornbill Festival 2022 at Kisama today.
The Warrior’s Dance is accompanied by the head hunting ceremonial ululation. This ululation was sounded by warriors before the start of a battle or after the end of the battle when the head of an enemy is taken.
This ululation was sounded by three groups who respond to the other and vice-versa.
The ululating sounds consist of ‘0‘ which rises to a crescendo and ends with ‘A-hook’ and finally culminates with the ‘awa-wa’ sound.
The Warrior’s Dance was performed only by the warrior. The dance comprises movements which depicts their preparation for the battle. The dance is led by a commander who devises all the battle plans and the strategy.
The commander is considered as the chosen one and he represents the group or his warriors whenever a single warrior has to fight against the enemy representative.
He was given the title of ‘Rigo Noba‘.
