Hello Alhan !! The "Kumpo" is a traditional mythological figure of the Diola and Manding peoples of Casamance(south of Sénégal) and Gambia whose exact origin is difficult to say. It is both a mask and a moonlight dance to appeal to this spirit which then comes out of the forest where it dwells. The exact etymology of the name cannot be given with certainty: it would be a distortion of the Wolof word Kumpa which means that which is secret because it arouses curiosity; or else what is reserved for initiates and therefore cannot be deciphered by a layman. Others, again, locate the origin of Kumpo with the Kommo, which is said to be an associate of Manding power. This cult of secrecy explains the fact that in order to dress, the kumpo must retire to the forest accompanied by initiated men and no woman must attend the scene. All these aspects are found in the kumpo, giving it a phantasmagorical dimension.
Thank you for watching this video! The Kumpo is a mythological figure of the Diola people in Casamance It is believed that Kumpo is not a person, but a ghost. There is a very strong relationship with the sacred wood. You can never ask for the true identity of Kumpo. You can not touch it, it's considered sacrilege to separate the palm leaves. That's why he protects himself against his enemies with his staff. At the end of the festivities, he said hello to the community and retired to the sacred grove.
