Spectacular Dogon Masquerade

[@jsmith3980]

Mesmerising in every way. Those 'tourists' [filmaker] present are incredibly lucky to have witnessed this. Thanks for posting. I have 3 of those big circular hats [ similar to the ones the drummers are wearing] hanging on the wall in my dining room, I bought them 25 years ago in a shop in Notting Hill!

The music raising our chakras

[@misterpetey]

This is an excellent performance, and certainly one of the best Dogon music and dance videos I have seen

the colorful Sirius star main color is pink which is not visible to the naked eye, guess what the main color is in their ritual, pink. there dance is a representation of the Sirius star delivering spirits to earth.

"Kanaga" is the name of the mask with the croix-de-Lorraine superstructure. The material is called "raffia," made from the leaves of the raffia palm tree. "The membrane on the underside of each individual frond leaf is taken off to create a long thin fibre which can be dyed and woven as a textile into products ranging from hats to shoes to decorative mats." (Wikipedia)

Do you know the name of those masks with the geometric white figure on top? And do you know what that purple hula skirt-like material is?
