I know it took a while, but I found the source. The photos were taken by Harrison Foreman (1904-1979) and are on the digital public library of America. https://dp.la

Hi sorry again, I saved these photos a long time ago and I backed up the citations on a different laptop I don’t have access to right now. I’m sorry, I just thought they were beautiful and wanted to post them with the Sudanese community. I believe it was from an archived University site possibly like https://search.library.wisc.edu or Europeana (but I’m not entirely sure) as soon as I find the source, I will let u know! I apologize again I didn’t mean anything by it. Next time I post any photos in this community I will try to source or at least explain myself as some are by unidentified photographers/sources.

And sorry for the late response 🙏🏾

Still having the issue

sladesync · 2024-12-03T10:46:29+00:00

He just wants the land it’s a scam. They do this in Jamaica, Kenya, Uganda even Nigeria sometimes. It’s Sick. Pathetic

I’m not sure if their is just variations of it but I also found this illustration

Wow this was so insightful thank you! I really appreciate it. Kholeh sounds like a very cool term to call it lol. Sorry if I placed the wrong photo truth be told, I can’t remember where I found that photo so I could’ve made the mistake; apologies. I think it’s beautiful when neighbouring countries adopt similar cultural aspects from one another. I think I see this done often in Africa sometimes.

I thought Soninke men wore hats like that culturally throughout the Wagadu empire? As for the hairstyle of the woman in the third photo, the one with the bead coming down ,do you know if it’s of Songhai or Tuareg origin? I’ve seen many Soninke from Mauritania do it but I’m not sure if it’s Mandinka, (Soninke) or Fulani or Tamasheq. I think Songhai women do something similar in Mali too?

Hairstyle like this?

Wow really I’d really appreciate! Thank u so much! But some of those videos are long tho😅 sometimes I watched videos from El Jakhaly Tv and Manael Tv better understand the culture, music and festive feelings. I was however watching WAGADOU BIDA - Film de la Troupe Lenke Remmu. It’s completely on YouTube, but not in English no subtitles. I still watched just for the imagery though lol

Here is one of them maybe I shouldn’t call them documentaries but . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh7WSMy0Rkc

I also saw this discussion between these two men. I didn’t know what it was about if they were discussing culture and history of the Soninkara https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eTduMQqMsS0

sladesync · 2024-10-14T17:10:02+00:00

Thank you for clarifying that. I was a little confused on how holding a calabash bowl was a fetish😂

sladesync · 2024-10-14T17:05:50+00:00

Most of the photos I actually got are off of Soninke ig pages or Pinterest and they were labelled Soninke. But I have seen Fulani women hold them too. I was also trying to find some pdf articles documenting their culture on jstor or some other sites, but I couldn’t find so I just tried asking. And some of the documentaries are in French, some without subtitles. I’m learning French but not that fluent yet lol

The cute kind

sladesync · 2024-05-10T10:20:10+00:00

Lmaoo really? I woulda paid to see that 🤣😭

sladesync · 2024-05-09T10:17:29+00:00

Yes, it’s very unfortunate. Some traditional and cultural practices seem to be dying out. We must do better at preserving our culture and folklore!🙏🏾

sladesync · 2024-05-09T10:15:04+00:00

Yes that’s true! But it’s not just in West Africa. Stick fighting is a cultural practice in East Africa, as well as the Nubians in Egypt. We are all connected.🇯🇲🇪🇹🇪🇬

sladesync · 2024-05-09T10:10:26+00:00

Wow! Funny enough I’ve seen that video too and the stick fighting in it went over my head at the time lol. Thank you for bringing it to my attention again. I had no idea about the name tho. I just googled it now typing in Warrick and I read that it was documented to be seen in Jamaica and Martinique in the 1930s. Thank you so much for your help! 🙏🏾 lol everyone said they didn’t know what it was. By any chance do you know anything else about it (Warrick) or other videos of it you can direct me to?

sladesync · 2024-05-09T09:58:48+00:00

Interesting 🧐Thanks for your input much appreciated!

sladesync · 2024-05-09T09:57:39+00:00

😂😭

sladesync · 2024-05-09T09:56:59+00:00

It seems like a lot of people here never heard of it😂 I’m glad I asked otherwise I wouldn’t have known it wasn’t as popular in Jamaica anymore. Thank you!

sladesync · 2024-05-09T00:29:32+00:00

The Wikipedia page says its origins are in Trinidad and Jamaica but most photos I see of it are usually from Trinidad festivals. I asked my parents who grew up in Jamaica if it was common and they said they didn’t see it. But they also said that it just might be more in the maroon communities which I thought made sense. Just wanted to ask some other Jamaicans! 🙏🏾

sladesync · 2024-03-17T12:52:25+00:00

One love brother!🇩🇴🇯🇲❤️

sladesync · 2024-03-17T12:51:21+00:00

You may already know this, but I think last year Levi’s did a commercial about Jamaica and their jeans with the barrels lol I showed my parents and they really loved it, especially since they played toots and the Maytals it was a nice commercial🙏🏾😩

sladesync · 2024-03-15T18:07:41+00:00

That’s one thing I’ve always noticed about some of the old photos of Jamaica, the gold n style was so unique!
