This is a video of the fonio harvest near Sokolo, a small village near Bandiagara on the Dogon Plateau of Mali, West Africa. The men are singing a song of thanks to God for the rain that made the fonio grow, the men to harvest the fonio, the women to cook the fonio, and the children that will eat the fonio and grow big and strong. The drummers and the woman in the video are encouraging the men to harvest faster in the typical Dogon fashion.
