The Bobos and Gouins

Bobo Ceremonial Dance
11x14 inches, stencil print on paper, 2020
 From the same collection (The Columbia World Library of Folk and Primitive Music, Volume II: French Africa), from the same year (1948), the same country and district (Banfora, Burkino Faso), and recorded by the same ethnomusicologist (Andre Didier) as the previous post on the Wara People. The two Banfora recordings are consecutive on the record and in the Top 100 2020 (at 18 and 19 thus far). Rather than writing about this tune today I refer you to a forty minute narration behind a video I recorded of the process of creating the stencil print of the Bobo People that you see above. The video is the third in a the Top 100 Archive and Studio series, a sort of video diary that chronicles the progress on the soon to be opened venue. Hope you like it!
