Our visit to Bôkôlô turned out to be a gold mine of stories for the Pulaku Project. Not only did we talk to folks about the water problem and photograph the incredible tattoo ritual, we also met Abdou:
After we’d settled into our mosquito nets for the evening, Abdou came over with a crew of youngsters. They put on quite a performance for us, singing and dancing for more than an hour.
Then, Abdou stole the show with his improvised freestyle rap. Click here to listen or download the file:
He continued like that for 5 minutes straight!
Surely you’re wondering what he’s saying. We don’t know. His friends don’t know. Even Abdou doesn’t know. He claims it just spills out like that. Incredible.
