Wow, more like the gymnastics olympics! :-)

Do you happen to know where the video was taken? It looks like Mali, and it looks suspiciously like it could be Sega's village. (But I'm sure there are thousands of villages with their ceremony area under a tree that looks like that...)

Cheers,

Michi.

Thanks for that. No, not Sega's village after all, just a very similar looking tree. Sega's village is Koflor, in the Fuladugu area.

Cheers,

Michi.
