The traditional dances of the Diola people of Senegal are characterized by their rhythmic drive and the intensive use of drums and percussion instruments such as the ekonting, the bombolong, and log drums. They dance at agricultural ceremonies, initiations, and community celebrations, where the movements are energetic, with jumps, marked steps, and group coordination. The dance expresses unity, spirituality, and a connection to the land within Diola culture. #fblifestyletyle #inspirationofafrica
