Deben cubrir todo para convertirse en la figura de la máscara. Una persona demuestra brevemente su cara. ¡Tabú! Entonces las máscaras de Wolokoton caminaron a casa 13 kilómetros en su traje. Se ven en el camino en el final del vídeo después de los créditos. ¡Gracias por la escritura!

Looking at those children sitting/crouching at the foot of the grown ups reminds me of my childhood days in Ijede, Lagos State, Nigeria, during traditional festivals with mash

I am not from burkina Fasso im from cameroon but have taken a key interest in African cultures. can someone tell me the meaning of this dance/what it signifies.

wow, how pleasing to see that there are traditions still upheld in this world and respected. like i said in another of their videos, this is the way we should all be living in this world, among each other, learning from elders that actually protect and possess wisdom, and forsaking the all too adapted ego. very nice and refreshing.

much respect and thanks
