"On this night," she said, "You watch each other. You speak to each other, but only with your eyes."
When I looked confused she laughed and continued, "Don’t you know? Tonight is Goundam feast. Tonight the men and the women dance for each other. You dance for your man; he makes his best dance for you. Then in nine months, so many babies! That is the meaning of this festival."
"Your man there, he is dancing only for you."
"No," I explained. "He is not my man."
My friends were surprised. "Two nasalas in all of the Koyra district and you are not together?"
In Part One of this series, Elena, traveling alone through West Africa, encounters a sexy French traveler at dance club during a unique festival. Men and women are not allowed to dance together in public, but the music, the heat, the cultural prohibitions, and an evocative ritual lead to an explosive climax.
