Description
In C�d'Ivoire performance art embodies music, dance, and festivals. Music exists almost everywhere�in everyday activities and religious ceremonies�and most singing is done in groups, usually accompanied by traditional instruments. The Senufo N'Goron dance, for example, is a colorful initiation dance where young girls wearing a fan of feathers and imitate birds. Malinke women perform the Koutouba and Kouroubissi dances before Ramadan. The various traditions have unified the masquerade, music, and dance as an expression of the continuation of creation and life, and during these events the mask takes on deep cultural-spiritual significance.
