In the following 1969 photos taken in Kandi, Benin, Bariba horsemen are following
drumming griots, or minstrels, to
prayer. The occasion was the End of Ramadan, the month-long Moslem fast. A
blinding rising sun was casting long shadows and coloring the light.
Waiting in the shade for crowds to gather and prayer to start.
The boy was taking rsponsibility for his father's horse.
