Ivory Coast - Zaouli Mask
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.Год назад
Zaouli dancing masks by the Guro tribe in Ivory Coast. The Zaouli mask was inspired by a girl named “Djela Lou Zaouli”, however, the stories of the origins of the mask are varied and each mask can have its own symbolic history. The uniqueness of Zaouli dance is the fine and sophisticated movement of the legs and the feet.
Sierra Leone - Bundo Female Masks
Просмотров 323Год назад
In most parts of Africa, masks are traditionally from a male prerogative, however among the Mende people and neighboring populations the Bundo Masks are female and they play a crucial role in girls’ puberty rites. In this tiny village, we experienced the exit of these masks, an event that called for the participation of a colorful crowd.

Ivory Coast - Guere Masks
Просмотров 259Год назад
In this region, masks typically start as simple, unadorned objects carved by a male artist. The mask is then handed down through generations with each new wearer adding adornments. According to the We, as each generation adds to the mask, it grows in ritual significance and power. The individual honored with wearing the mask traditionally wears an oversized skirt made of raffia fronds and may c...

Passing through remote Eastern Guinea in West Africa on the TransAfrica Grand Expedition (Morocco to Nigeria), we met the "birdmen", of whom very little is known or documented. Our first encounter happened to be on New Year's Eve and it's definitely one to remember!

      @@jevanzyl Hey, thanks for responding. I heard "Mountain Hardwear" on the video. Is it a rain shell? I can't imagine anyone sleeping in a rain shell. Or, is it a soft shell with some insulation? Mountain Hardwear currently offers a "Kor AirShell Warm Jacket", which is a soft shell, has some insulation, and they say it is highly breathable, and water resistant: "Active insulation and ultralight weather resistance join forces for cold-weather aerobic performance."

      @@JohnSmith-tw2hn Yeah, mne is from 10+ years ago and is not insulated. Probably equivalent to the Kor uninsulated one. I have a Patagonia nano-puff if insulation is needed, but LOVE the uninsulated one if it's a bit nippy in the morning and you just need a thin breathable layer that will not let you overheat (as an insulated one will for me as I run hot).

    Great video ! Watching now. What did you end up doing re packing up a wet tent? I had that happen just recently , wet inside also with condensation. I plan to carry two dry packs that will go in my larger bike pack going forward one for tent and one for sleeping bag. Just curious what you ended up doing

    • @johannvanzyl5451
      @johannvanzyl5451 Год назад

      Wrap wet tent in plastic (could be shopping bag from a store or dry bag). For me, it goes in front handlebar dry bag with sleeping pad & some clothing, so try to separate wet tent from rest. Sleeping bag (for me) goes in seat bag, but I always put in it's own dry bag (same with puffy) and then in the seatbag, which is technically a dry bag too, but not as secure...

      I wear very lightweight shorts (gives me pockets) over Pearl Izumi Pro Road padded shorts ... (on rides after this CO Trail one, I only took one pair). Pockets are handy for me to hold phone, etc. and I wore the short on their own in town (on later rides when overnighting in a town). On subsequent rides (like Great Divide) I even flew to Canada in the shorts ...
