Four men sitting in front of a men's house sing a mythological chant which is used in different rituals. Additionally to the chant a man plays a hand-drum. The ritual is made for an opossum representing the ancestress of the clan group Mbowi-Semal. Gifts for the organizers of the ritual are presented and a women's dance concludes the ceremony.
