Scope and content
Atmosphere of the shebeens is free, in contrast to that of regimented Government beer halls. When spirits run high, someone usually provides music, and a woman may break into a dance or staccato of swearwords. It used to be a social disgrace for an African woman to be found drinking with men. Shebeens have changed this.
