 Music
is a reflection of society. The Bariba live in chieftaincies
with a strict hierarchical structure: their music
is ceremonial and honorific (trumpets and drums "speak").
It is often played by griots. The music of the Somba,
a peasant peoples, is more social in nature: it is
played by everyone and accompanies the most routine
activities.
