wedding dance Photo

Photographer’s Note

Bamako, Lafiabogou. There were only women, the only men were hired musicians. Dancing was weird. One by one they were coming close to the drummers and erupting in a one-two minute frenzy, while the others hardly moved.It looked like a break dance competition, with a crowd watching and maybe choosing the best dancer.

Another great shot ... the colour, the movement it's been said before but I wanted to add my appreciation.

It's a great shot! You caught the atmosphere and the movement. If I close my eyes I can listen at the music too. I will need a lot of your picture viewing to force my PoW to change sometimes... Well done (again)! Luca
