Europeans, who customarily sit apart in shaded stands (not shown), overflow into African seats in this view. Visitors and their cameras are welcome to these affairs, but those who hope to see war dances go away disappointed, and most performances lack ceremonial significance. Listening to the white man's records, the miner quickly picks up rock and roll, calypso, and swing, and sometimes blends them with native rhythms.
