520 |a The name means "dancing spirit", and these ten-foot-high stilt walkers appear at street festivals in New York City, at Carnival celebrations in the Caribbean, and during religious ceremonies in West Africa. Wearing special costumes and masks which add to their mystery, the moko jumbie is both feared and revered. Because of their great height they are seen as all-powerful figures accompanied by joyous music and feelings of awe. This unique film shows the art, craft, dance and history of the moko jumbie. It gives background into the costume and dance movements, as well as its origins in West Africa. Narrated by two moko jumbies living in New York City, this lively film provides fresh cultural insight.
