TOROThis song is played during the initiation period for young boys. After they are circumcised, they go into the forest for a 3 month initiation period. During this time they are taught respect and knowledge of life, including plant lore, how to recognize bird songs, and making signs out of rocks and stones to tell others of danger up ahead on forest paths.
