Rhythm of the summer of 2020 is Balakulandyan
About Balakulandyan
“Bala“: sea, “Kulandjan“: a long legged bird. Balakulandyan is a sea bird.
This rhythm is played for the women at baptisms, circumcisions and Malinke festivities (Maninkafoli) and it related to fertility. There is a song that speaks of the priceless value of having a chid and actually begs for one.
Here is the story of the song. Once upon a time, a Balakulandjan said to the people: I fly on the air and hunt fish in the sea. I know things about the world and I can tell you that Children are the most important thing in life. If there is a woman who can not bear children, she can ask for my help. She should bring a hundred things (objects of value) and I will help her.”
