are turned towards imparting to young
people, peace, joy and harmony, but

message, of the importance of learning
to read and write and to go to school, if

«I do not know how to write, sait Adama,
so everything is in my head».

A

family story tells us of an adventure
concerning Adama’s father, who was a
troubadour and spiritual person of the
village. During a season of interminable
rain, he freed a female crocodile form a
trap where she would have been killed.

As soon as he had cut the bindings the

rain stopped immediately...

A

Their

sacred animal is the crocodile,
protector of the village, in Egypt called
the God Sobek, Master or the water that
irrigates the fields and closely linked with
the worship of the God DO, venerated
by the community of Bwaba, son of God
The Creator, the incarnation of nature in
its wild state, federating villages, and an
engine for all spiritual depth and social
life.

that passion»...This feeling is without doubt shared by all genuine musicians
worldwide.
