*Observations*
The villagers live in constant fear of the dead and evil spirits. Rather than mourn the death of loved ones, the villagers lay them to rest as quickly as possible after they perform rituals to make the spirits depart. This is not so for the Pygmies. They sing and dance during the molimo that goes on for months in honor of the person who has died. This is their way of remembering that person.
