#mulalambo

The Tabwa say that mulalambo or the Milky Way is our calendar for they are aware of the change of the galaxy's orientation through the course of weeks and months when viewed at the same hour every evening. Mulalambo lines provide a convergence of up(south by Tabwa reckoning) and down(north) with bilateral symmetry-right(east) and left(west). Through scarification of the physical body and as portrayed in the faces and torsos of minkisi ya mipasi ancestorsal figures, these essential cosmological and social dialects are embodied.

In the United States people need to overstand that light pollution makes sighting of the Milky Way(mulalambo or kipenda busiku) a rare occurrence for most Americans is not experienced by people living where nights are still profoundly dark. So bright one can nearly read by its light alone. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu0z6zyc2J8
