An indigenous art form is the Meke, which may incorporate the seasea ( women's fan dance ) or a meke wesi ( men's spear dance ).
It is usually a narrative of an important event such as a war, a chiefly installation, or even a scandal.
In olden times, the meke was considered to be an oracle from the gods, and the Dau ni vucu, or composer, would often go into a trance before a performance.
Others are modern, composed for a particular event, much as a poet laureate might write a poem to celebrate an event in a Western country.
