EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1966 by Quilici, Folco, we are transported to the enchanting shores of Gore Island in Senegal. The image captures a mesmerizing moment between a griot or story-teller and a fisherman, as they unite their talents to create an unforgettable experience. The griot, adorned in traditional African attire, sits gracefully on the sandy beach with his instrument cradled lovingly in his hands. His fingers dance effortlessly across the strings as he accompanies the fisherman's soulful song. Their harmonious collaboration resonates with the crashing waves of the sea behind them. Gore Island serves as an idyllic backdrop for this scene; its natural beauty blending seamlessly with the rich cultural heritage of Senegal. The landscape seascape stretches out before us, inviting us to explore its hidden treasures and immerse ourselves in its history. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it becomes evident that it represents more than just music and storytelling. It symbolizes unity among diverse populations and celebrates the vibrant tapestry of African culture. The presence of black Africans is not merely incidental but central to understanding both anthropology and ethnography within this context. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to witness a fleeting moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. Through his lens, we gain insight into the profound connection between music, nature, and humanity itself. This photograph is not just a piece of art; it is an invitation to delve deeper into our own appreciation for different cultures and embrace their unique contributions to our world. It reminds us that stories have power beyond words – they can bridge gaps between individuals from all walks of life while celebrating our shared humanity
