carol(l)ing with the (ritual) friction drum/buhai
Explanation:
Depinde de cat de explicativ e necesar sa fie titlul, cel mai bine ar fi sa ramana ”buhai” netradus sau sa se dea o nota de subsol explicand ca este un tip de ”friction drum” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_drum).

neutral  Sandra & Kenneth Grossman: 1. Waits with bull-bellowing!? 2. The "bull-bellowing" and St. Basil nu mi se par relevante pt. o pictura. "Waits with bull bellowing " mi se pare un titlu care in cel mai bun caz trezeste nedumerire.
