Traditional Wodaabe Dancing

In northern Niger, young Wodaabe men dance for young women, it's the one opportunity to choose a partner, and the women do the choosing. The men dress to impress and emphasise the whites of their eyes and teeth during the display.

Plus Sierra Leone's Freetong Players sing.
