500        |a Language: Tamashek = Tamajeq (Ayr Region form of Tuareg Berber)
500        |a Date of recording: 2 November 1973
500        |a Location: remote central Niger Tuareg dry season camp, near Gadabeji, between Maradi and Agadez, Niger
500        |a Occasion: The chef's daughter M is ill, a month after having given birth. It is thought she must be possessed by evil spirits. Musicians are summoned to dispel the spirits, in an all-female performance, with some men listening on (see photo in article above). The healing ritual includes drumming, singing and frenzied dancing over several days. After a few days M is still ill. She is sent to the nearest clinic where she appears to improve. She hates the filth and chaos in Dakoro clinic and longs for home. Back home again her health deteriorates rapidly and on 30th December she sadly dies, followed by her baby a few days later, despite the brave efforts of the household servant / wet nurse.
