A favourite song:

Mamadou Diaw 'Nigki Nanka' is a song with a very special feeling for me. After the rainy season in Senegal, if it's a good one, the village will call a festival. The master drummer of the area is called to drum the song that will bring out the dragon, Nigki Nanka, to dance with them. This festival of eating drinking and dancing can go on day and night for a week!
