People Wrestle & Get Married | It’s Kamangnene Festivities In The Casamance River Delta | S7 Epsd 27

Kamangnene celebrates the rice harvest in Casamance. It's when locals must welcome people at their homes and offer them food and drinks. Then in the evening folks gather in forest clearings to watch boys and men wrestles and newlyweds are presented. These are celebrations of the Diola people who live in this region of Senegal. The exact date of this annual festival is not known to anyone but the king a week before it takes place. Luck or timing for us could not have been better. Who knew about this. Not even Mana. We are well fed and drunk on palm wine. Perfect to stroll through the forest on ancient paths to the boisterous clearing. There are newlyweds and wrestlers on display. Let the music and fights begin.
