Dununba in Baro

As part of @stagesankaran we took an excursion on the 17th of January 2024, from Sangbarala to Baro, which are two smaller villages on the outskirts of town centre of Karoussa. This is the heartland of one of my favorite families of rhythms from Guinea known as Dununba. To witness “the dance of the strongman” in a traditional ceremony under that immense tree in the centre of it all, was really powerful. These rhythms and dances have been become popular all over the world but to be there in that setting, seeing a living, breathing cultural custom like that is really rare. The modern style has become extremely rapid and frenetic but like this, it still has that really funky, gritty, slow lumbering feel that I love. It began with a warm up the drummers with a group of young boys having a great time dancing before they’d soon be ushered away to make room for the men. As the ceremony went on, the dust kicked up by the dancers became increasingly difficult to tolerate but I managed to get a decent amount of footage before I took some distance to get some fresh air. As I stood outside the crowd at the end, I captured that great shot of a long procession of women carrying food on their heads. What better way to finish their ceremony then by going for a big feed afterwards?! #dununba #dununbarhythms #djembedrum #djembe #westafricanmusic #dundunba #dununs #barodununba #traditionaldance #traditionalinstruments #africancustoms #musicalcustoms #guineamusicanddance #guineamusictour #guineandjembe #livingcultures #livingcustoms #percussionist #africanpercussions #africandrumming #dununbadance #dununbarhythms #guineanmusic #africanmusic #musicafricana #mandengue #musicmandingue #rhythmsoftheworld #culture #africanculture #traditionalmusic
