My Journey in Niger

Life among the Sokoto Fulani of Niger

Friday, May 11, 2007

good times

The Fulani like to sing and dance in the evening hours after eating. Normally just the children and teenagers sing and dance, and all of their songs and dances are nearly the same. Not much variety. Well nowadays, in one village, some Fulani friends sit around singing praise songs. Oh, it is so beautiful to hear them singing in Fulfulde and Hausa. And it’s not just the kids, often their parents and grandparents sing along with them.
















The other night we sat around drinking tea, visiting, and singing praise songs.















good times!
