There are many forms of expression in the areas of music and dance. All societies have their own style(s). Music and dance play a very positive role in life in any given society, particularly contributing to the health and well being of each individual.
Djibril grew up in an environment where music is an integral part of everyday life. There is no separate ‘school’ for dance; everyone is exposed to the joy of rhythmic movement and encouraged to participate.
While dancing, these women play percussive instruments made with gourds and decorated with beads and/or cowrie shells which resonate against the outside of the calabash.
