The 'dancing spirits' that you refer to are in fact nyau dancers, and these are extremely important to Malawian culture in an almost traditionally religious way. They are involved not just in melancholy events(although this film mostly carried that tone) but also in more joyous major facets of the community. An explanation of even that, I feel, would have become a bit too expository. Great film.
