Every year, in September, young boys in Mande country, West Africa, go into a month-long retreat of 'initiation'. This recording is of the procession escorting the mask (Kankurang) who protects the newly circumcised boys. It is lead by Amadou Kouaté, assisted by Nago, Sidy and Talla Koité, Aziz Bara, Nago Sène and the percussion & dance team of the M'Bour griot family Gueye-Kouyaté. http://saf.sap.googlepages.com
