West African traditional dance performance by UNCA West African Dance II class. The first dance is lamban/llamba, the second is kukuThe societal and historical context for Lamban Lamban is a dance and song created by jali (griots) for each other.

In order to understand Lamba, you need to know the structure of Mande society. Mande society, a person is born into one of three main castes: the freeborn, (horon), the artisans (nyamakala), and the slaves (jon).

They include the potters, the wood-carvers, the blacksmiths or ironworkers, and the praise singers/musicians/historians -- the griots (from the French) or jali. The jali are endogamous. That means they marry within their caste. So in order to be a jali, or a griot, you must come from a jali family. The jali ...
