'festival'-toubab diallo, senegal



samba & nabou-toubab diallo, senegal
[ed. note: their performance earlier in the afternoon was much more inspired]


typically, the end of may marks the beginning of the rainy season in senegal. the rains first fall around casamance and in the atlantic just west of the country. besides bringing much needed water for vegetation and daily needs, the commencement of rains confuses many fish which are inadvertently fooled into shallower depths than they are accustomed. my visit happened to coincide with a two week period in which it is possible to catch fish by going no farther than a few feet past the shoreline.
