The initial contact point for me was kora music, one of the primary instruments of Manding culture. |
This group was to become to modern Manding music what E T Mensah was to Ghanaian Highlife, what Mahlathini was to Mbaqanga and what I K Dairo was to Nigeria's Juju music. |
Kangaba is a trade mark of musical instruments from the manding area, a place in ouest africa between Mali and Guinée. |
The ethnic groups selected for this study were the Wolof, Manding, Fulbe, Laobe, Manjak, Serer and Balante. |
Activities include transcription workshops in various languages such as Manding, Fulfuldé, Djerma-Songhai, Lingala and Wolof. |
