I have to say this clip is misleading. The music is Ghanaian (sounds like Ewe), not Bambara. And the dance looks more like Dogon than Bambara. So what you see and hear bears very little similarity to the actual music and dance associated with the ci wara mask.
Fantastic document of ancient bambara culture, which is plobably rare to be seen nowaday. To bad it´s a performance for the camera outside the original context though.
