...course, a violent, often eloquent anticolonialist, and an infectiously fanatic orator. At the 1960 independence ceremony, he seized the microphone to tell Belgium's King Baudouin that "from today, we are no longer your monkeys." He was also the first Congolese politician to think beyond tribal boundaries, the founder (in 1959) of the Congo's first semi-national political movement, its first real pan-African nationalist-and its first Prime Minister. But at the time of his death, most of his countrymen had either never heard of him or hated...
...slow-marched through ranks of the native Third Kenya Rifles to the strains of Auld Lang Syne, then were whisked away aboard an R.A.F. transport. That midnight, before 50,000 in a Nairobi stadium, Kenyatta's new presidential stand ard was unfurled-crossed spears super imposed on a tribal shield, flanked by a crowing cock...

The celebrations in Nairobi featured a marathon run by Ethiopia's Olympic Winner Abebe Bikila, feathered tribal dancers, and Guinea's Ballets Africains, which offered only one disappointment-the girls wore brassieres.

...from "the lay and fringe public" with a unique amalgam of jazz and ethnic music. Last week, in Manhattan's cavernous Village Gate, the Herbie Mann Septet was serving up one of its typical jazz potpourris: gently infectious bossa nova, thumping Afro-Cuban, variations on a North African tribal chant, a Middle Eastern treatment of the theme from Fiddler on the Roof, a brooding interpretation of a classical piano piece writ ten in 1888 by French Composer Erik Satie. Mann also introduced a new gimmick: he played a flute improvisation against a tape recording of eerily exotic, centuries...
Positive Neutrality. Meanwhile, the Assembly conducted business by acclamation in order to avoid voting. It admitted three new nations-Malta, Malawi and Zambia-and elected its first black African president. Ghana's Ambassador Alex Quaison-Sackey, 40, festively garbed in orange and yellow tribal robes, took the chair alongside U Thant and Indian Under Secretary C. V. Narasimhan, symbolizing the U.N.'s ever-increasing Afro-Asian cast...
