KOTEDJUGAFrom Mali (some caste members are also in Giunea) The Kotedjuga caste functions as clowns. Example: during a wedding, when the bride and groom are about to take their vows, the clowns appear and make a scene. People pay them to leave! Similar function as griots. They dress badly and look ridiculous. Rhythm is in 3. BREAK 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . @ . T t . T t . . (Ends with $ for end of rhythm) 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . Djembe 1 bS . S b T t B s .
