Malinkeor Mandinka or MandingoCluster of peoples occupying parts of Mali, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau. They speak a Mande language of the Niger-Congo family. Numbering 4.7 million, they are divided into numerous independent groups dominated by a hereditary nobility. One group, the Kangaba, has one of the world's most ancient dynasties; its rule has been virtually continuous since the 7th-century founding of the Mali empire. Most contemporary Malinke grow millet and sorghum and tend cattle. In religion they are divided among Islam and indigenous faiths. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | I've got a poster up at the moment with words in Mandinka and Wolof, the languages that they speak there, so we've all got a few words when we arrive. The Guineans play music which has evolved, I am assured, from West African Mandinka rhythms and is called mbalax, a fact which I derived some obscure pleasure communicating to my radio audience, and as they do it and melody upon melody flows from the guitar of Sekou Diabate, the overall effect, as I shamefacedly suggested above, hits below the belt. Masquerades and ceremonies are variously interpreted as Jola, Mandinka, and/or Islamic, and the differentiation in interpretations and narratives strongly correlate with ethno-linguistic identities and attributes such as age and especially gender. |
