Mali, Diafarabé - Young "Peuhl" girls are singing at night in their house, in the small village of Diafarabé, on the Niger river. They give the rhythm clapping with their hands and tapping on some calebasse.

If you use this sound, it will be nice to mention "Les jeunes filles de Diafarabé" as singers, and if you make money with it and want to help the them or the village, I can put you in contact with them. Thanks!

Sound recorded by a MS setup Sennheiser Microphone MKH50@MKH30
Sound Devices 302 mixer + minidisc recorder
MS is encoded in STEREO Left-Right
