The Bolon of Burkina Faso

Dance with the Masks: The Bolon, who live in isolation in the southwest of Burkina Faso, are cut off from all other populations in the country. Living in mud houses with terraced roofs, this original community continues to perpetuate its culture, its architecture, its religion, its music, its songs and its dances with impressive masks while practicing the art of divination.
