The ethno-linguistic study which we undertake will permit us to catch a glimpse of its whole complexity. The analysis has a bearing on four principal aspects. Historical developments: a certain number of facts concerning the birth of possession among the Tumbuka; possession: the study attempts to show how the cult articulates itself with its beliefs and the use of divination; the social role: analysis of social functions; the style: an analysis of the linguistic procedures which are characteristic of Vimbuza songs. The presence of rhetorical figures would confirm that we are talking about an oral literary genre. 410 0$aImabali text ;$vno. 4. 606 $aEthnology$zMalawi 606 $aHealing$zMalawi 606 $aTumbuka (African people)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aHealing 615 0$aTumbuka (African people)$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a306.096897 700 $aSoko$b Boston $01654322 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808333003321 996 $aVimbuza the healing dance of Northern Malawi$94006069 997 $aUNINA
