They just wanna dance or Dave goes to Bariba Woodstock


I spent the past few weeks at the Gaanhi festival in Nikki, which celebrates the peace between the Kings of Nikki and Djugou. It features lots of horses, horns, jewelry and lots of thrift store clothing. I had a remarkable time when I was able to let loose and enjoy myself with the kids. I met this one guy who was really remarkable in that he was a one man band. He had jangles on his knees and elbows and was wearing a hat made almost entirely of horse hair. Obviously as soon as I met him I had to dance with him. Photos are included.
