Dununba Drum and Dance Party with Stilt Walker/Dancer

The Doundoumba is a family of rhythms and dance popular all throughout Guinee. It originally comes from the Hamanah region, of the Kouroussa area. It is the " rhythm of the strong man ". In traditional times it was played to settle disputes among the men of the village. The two in conflict would dance the Doundoumba , in the Bara among the villiage people. This would insure the safety of the competition which lasts from dusk to dawn.
