Traditional Sérère wrestling
The furious rhythm of the tom-toms, the monotonous chant to the glory of heroes, the virile power of the village’s champions, magic rituals, the dance of the wrestlers and spectators, processions of different delegations, everything mixed into an apparent disorder but which follows ancestral rules. (Extract from the book “When the devil and the good Lord get together to get us out of the soup”)
