I like Mandinka-mori Mandingo. It is fluid and lively. Most Gambian griouts attempt to sing in it. The ancestral dialet for jali's.

Masane Ceesay, the epic by A Guinean, I hope Masane Ceesay's legacy teach us a lesson that, money can't buy you everything.

Mali Sarjo By Sory Kandia Kuyateh

An ancient song but widely sang by scores of Mandingo musicians. The song is central to the relationship between a hippo and a beautiful village girl. Fascinating.

An interesting video of male circumcission rites, when the boys are arriving home from bathing in an open river.
A kankuran dance in group setting. The drummers sing for the kankuran. The singer is enquiring about uncircumcissed males.
