EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense moment of a Bari-Neger war dance from Mozambique, South-East Africa, during the late 1890s. The Bari-Neger people, also known as the Bari, are an ethnic group indigenous to the region, and this image offers a glimpse into their rich cultural history. The photograph shows a group of musicians, dressed in animal skins and adorned with beads and feathers, working to build the warriors up into a frenzy of blood lust. The musicians, with their drums, trumpets, and other traditional instruments, create a rhythmic and hypnotic melody that resonates through the air, fueling the warriors' energy and determination. The warriors, dressed in protective armor and armed with spears and shields, stand ready for battle. Their faces are painted with intricate designs, and their eyes are focused and determined. The atmosphere is electric, charged with the raw energy of the impending conflict. The history of the Bari-Neger people is marked by a long history of conflict and resistance against foreign invaders. This war dance was likely used to prepare the warriors for battle, to instill a sense of unity and courage, and to heighten their readiness for combat. Despite the violent connotations of the term "blood lust," it is important to remember that this dance was an integral part of the Bari-Neger culture and was not motivated by a desire for wanton violence, but rather by the need to defend their land and people from external threats. This photograph offers a powerful reminder of the rich and complex history of the African continent and the resilience of its people in the face of adversity.
