KAYATU’S WEDDING IN FEB 2006

Quim has been in Julanguel, Gambia, for three days, where Moussa Molo, African Association of Calella (Barcelona), cooperates so that a community without resources can have a more dignified life. In two days, Kayatu was getting married. She was fifteen years old. She tells Quim what a Muslim wedding is like, with all its rituals. Three consecutive days, with a great party where all the family members and friends get together. At four in the evening, Quim witnessed a crowd of about 150 women, girls, and boys approaching the house. Three musicians start playing music, and a great festival started. During the three days of the ceremony, there were many rituals, especially on the bride’s part, the groom was hardly seen. During this whole time, the groom was available in a corner smoking with his friends. The groom was her (Kayatu) first cousin.
