Wodaabe Assembly

October 28, 2012 by leslieclark 1 Comment

From the Cure Salee, we went to the National Assembly of Wodaabe at Tagoudoumt.  We were not the only ones going from one party to another.  couple to the party

This couple was on their way from the Cure Salee to the Assemblee at Tagoudoumt.  Is she a stolen bride??

Here a group of young men are headed to dance and attract the women of their dreams–

 

Great Party!–I was asked to be the official photographer– too bad I could not stay the whole time–but got some good photos all the same.

Bye for now,

    chère Leslie
    vos photos de l”assemblee de Tagoudoum sont tres belles mais une AG de Djingo ne se limite pas à des danses et les wodaabe profitent de l’occasion pour discuter de leurs problèmes , de strategie pour leur organisation ,
    de demandes aux autoritées
    le problème c’estqu’il est toujours tresdifficile d’obtenir un compte rendu de cette reunion
    car iils n’ont pas l’habitude de l’écrit
    en voyant votre titre j’avais espéré en apprendre un peu plus mais je suis un peu déçu !!
    Pouvez vous m’en dire plus ?
