this Balafon-player is the best in all Dedougou-city. I say this becauy´se i from there and i know him. So this video is short but i wish much pleasure with him.
ummm, that's not a witch doctor at all. And that instrument is a variant on a type of instrument found all over Africa, Europe, and Asia. It is the family of instruments that pianos, vibraphones, xylophones, etc come from.
