A little 2-part exploration into the world of the Riti, the Wolof one-string fiddle of Senegal. We visit a party in action with party Griots in Louga, Senegal & up close with master Griot fiddler Modou Niang... more on part 2 coming.......
This melody is fula but you can't play alot of things in Senegal if you don't add wolof sabar (to be accepted u have to) that's why alot of art form and musicianship got stock in the wolof arena and are a dieing thing in Senegal really.
The singing guy at the later part is another example no wonder his tune is limited afterall, no group can take genres of another group and "out perform" the rightful group but serves to alienate themselves in the rightful ears.
wonderful,wonderful to see the African playing strings.Do you have alot footage to share on this?

I take it there is some political fight between Wolof and Fulani.
