For the end of Ramadan, I was invited to celebrate the meal with the family of Fané, the Malian who worked as my computer assistant. Shortly after the meal was finished, we heard some live music coming towards us. Looking outside in the courtyard, we saw several hunter griot (musicians), dressed in their traditional superstitious garb. One was playing a percussive instrument and 3 were playing a hunter's harp, a 6 stringed instrument similar to the kora. On top of the neck of the instrument was a metal flap with rings, which made their own percussive additions to the rhythm. They had come to greet the landlord, who was a hunter. Delighted, he brought out his gun and an animal tail tied and attached to a leather cord and began dancing with the others. He then fired once into the air. After a few minutes of dancing, singing, and playing, they left to greet another fellow hunter.
