Bozo Fish of Mali,

The Bozo, a fishing people of Mali, are descendants of Faaro, the water spirit and the creator of the world. The emergence of Bozo masks and puppets celebrates this origin myth, their relationship to terrestrial and aquatic animals.
Accompanied by songs and drums, the dance of masked individuals alternates with that of the sogow, large masks representing animals that are sometimes mythical, sometimes real. Contemporary fish

Poisson Bozo du Mali, 

les Bozo, peuple de pêcheurs du Mali, sont les descendants de Faaro, esprit de l'eau et créateur du monde. La sortie des masques et marionnettes bozo célèbre ce mythe des origines, leur relation aux animaux terrestres et aquatiques.
Accompagnée de chants et de tambours, la danse de personnes masquées alterne avec celle des sogow, grands masques représentant des animaux tantôt mythiques, tantôt véritables. Poisson contemporain
