SHILLUK/CHOLLO TRADITIONAL DANCE

The Shilluk is also known as Cholo or Colo, are the major Luo Nilotic ethnic group of Southern Sudan, living on both banks of the River Nile, in the vicinity of the city of Malakal. Before the Second Sudanese Civil War the Shilluk also lived in a number of settlements on the northern bank of the Sobat River, close to where the Sobat joins the Nile.

The initial start of the new life among the Chollo people begins when a woman conceives. Chollo/Shilluk call it “dhenhdhaac ayit ki dhaanho†; it is from that period onward, when the preparation of welcoming the new life begins.

The dances among the Chollo people form the core tradition of the Chollo culture. Chollo have four types of the dances where they express their happiness. The first one is cong ki bul di cyang literally mean the day dance. It is called like that because the other three types of the dances are occasionally played at night. In bul dance, men wear regalia made from the leopard skin or sack material cut in a special way called yoor which they tie on their low back. The women wear (lani bul) made from the cow skin.In addition, both men and women wear necklace beads on their necks. The women put extra beads style on their arms and foreheads.
