Dyéné and Djaa

2 Malinké rhythms from Guinea
The song for Dyéné laments the departure of a new bride from the village. Traditionally, the new bride would leave her friends and family to live with her new husband's family.
Eé Dyénéwo wodikalama n'bo bada wa!
Djaa is described by Mamady Keita as "the last dance of childhood".
Performed by Katandi, Bristol
Break taken from Famoudou Konate, Hamana Mandenkono
Lyrics and information from Dave Kobrenski, Djoliba Crossing: Journeys into West African Music and Culture, 2013.
