The music & singing is deep, deep. Into the subconscious. Feel like bodily traveling back into the remote, distant past. The music is sensual (sensory).
I've been to Mali this year too. Dogon is awesome, but most travellers will be sick if they stay more than 4 days in this region, because of hygienic reasons. A good hint: if children come to welcome you, DON'T take their hands, but wave at them. And DON'T give them candy, they don't have toothbrushes so it will affect their teeth. A good guide is Hamidou Dembele, who can found in Ségou. Ask for him: Hamidou 'Dar' 'RunDMC' Dembele. Don't take a guide in Bamako!
i really dont believe dogon people to be less hygienic than downtown bamako. Travelling a place like this always you should always consider washing your hands very often.
Anyways never give candy anyway - bring som pens for schools instead.
Why do you give me negative feedback, I didn't say anything negative... I didn't say people were less hygienic, the environment is. I've been there for three weeks, so don't tell me how it is, I've seen it with my own eyes.
How do you know that the Dogon were specifically part of the Moorish conquest? I think I have read sources of the Tuareg and Fulani but was not aware of the Dogon. Do you have a source for this?
Very nice video of Pays Dogon. Good Ali Farka song as well. Dogon greetings are so beautiful we incorporated them into our song "Monks and Crossbones," which is about the Telem. Check it out by searching for Mainly Lanes.
That would depend on how YOU define literacy, which im almost sure your using a Western model as a measuring stick, once again come off of that western superiority bias, it starting to lose ground, thanks to the ancetors, and there connection with people of real and honest critical thought doing the research. REFLECTIONS ETERNAL
This is FABULOUS! I'm so glad that you guys took this video... So many people say that Africa had no advanced ancient civilizations... WONDERFUL! and what song is this?

If you don't stop disabling so many audio tracks on your videos i'm going to stop using your site.

with all your DON'Ts, and even do's, i'd say your comment, overall, has a negatory tone.
plus, you must've sensed that you might've come across that away as you were so defensive.
it's ok, it's just youtube.
glad you're seeing the world, but keep those eyes open. open. open.
