Dan masks are some of the best known African masks & are the ones that folks like Pablo Picasso & the members of the Fauves took inspiration from at the turn of the 20th century. In practice, masks have their own voices and sound effects (one is made by rubbing a wet string). Guro (or Guoro) tracks are public festivals and rhythmic female work songs. Collected by Ian Nagoski, who recently departed (smoothly) from running the True Vine record store in Baltimore.
