Thanks, Santanfara
for a very unique historical recollection, I’ve never heard of it. The Gambia archive most document it in its entirety.

| Thanks Momodou for embedding the video and thanks all for the comments. The video was recorded in 1980 by the then Gambia Film unit and produced by Ebrima Sagnia but some bantaba member may hopefully know more about the tradition to share with us. |
