Description:
In northern Côte d'Ivoire, the balafon – a xylophone with calabash resonators – is central to the lives of the Senufo people. Its music accompanies everything from communal field work and age-group ceremonies to initiation rites, Catholic masses, and youth dances. Musicians and everyone else, regardless of age, see the balafon as essential to marking the rhythms of life for this agricultural community. Traditional balafon music remains vibrant and vital, particularly among the younger generation.
