A Bird Dance near Saturday City: Sidi Ballo and the Art of West African Masquerade
Patrick McNaughton
In 1978, Patrick McNaughton witnessed a bird dance masquerade in the small town of Dogoduman. He was so affected by this performance that its artistic power has never left him. Here, he considers the components of the performance, its pace, the performers, and what it means for understandings of Bamana and West African aesthetics and culture.
