  • Thank you so much for these wonderful comments. I have been so lucky to work with the people who appear in my videos.

  • Amazing video by some amazing people. I wish I could understand what the musicians are saying with the Balafone.

  • Good question! I will try to find out. Thanks.

  • Absolutely Beautiful....

  • I am very glad you enjoyed Samadou talking about the Sambla baan. His village is about an hour and a half northwest of Bobo-Dioulasso near the Mali frontier. He is an English teacher at the Université de Bobo-Dioulasso. He and his friend Alhassane Sanou helped make the videos from Burkina that I have included here. I enjoyed your video Butterfly and the Cat and will look at the others to learn more about the Cayman Islands. Mike Johnston
