About this product
The Senufo are an ethnic subgroup spread across Mali and Côte d'Ivoire that were studied intensely by French ethnomusicologist Michel de Lannoy, a specialist in West African music. Among the Senufo is a further subgroup of about 20,000 people called the Fodonon, who populate around fifteen villages in northern Côte d'Ivoire. Even in villages where they are the minority, Fodonon are regarded as masters of the land and rain. The Fodonon have fought to preserve their social and religious institutions, including the music of funeral ceremonies. These musical rituals can last several days, as the people share the burden and sorrow of death as a whole community.

With recordings by anthropologists Betty and W. Gurnee Dyer, Music of Mali presents music from Timbuktu and Sanga, a region inhabited by Mali's Dogon people. The anthropologists were fortunate enough to witness a Dogon funeral, an elaborate ceremony normally restricted to locals, as well as a wedding procession and the music of two Tuareg minstrels in Timbuktu. The liner notes are taken from W. Gurnee Dyer's field notes and provide description of Mali's geography as well as a first-hand account of the Dogon funeral ceremony. Album Tracks 1. Funeral at Dini 2. Dini Funeral (Finale) 3. Wedding at Timbuktu 4. Wedding Sequence with Men's Serenade 5. Taureg Minstrels at Timbuktu (With Two Lutes)
