Description

Kamili Nialata occupies a new position in the Spirit of Fi Yi Yi and the Mandingo Warriors black masking Indian tribe and is new to the black masking tradition. It relates to Elegba as an incarnation of the African aspect of the tribe’s Big Chief Victor Harris’s black masking Indian character. Nialata’s garb and ritual performance reflect Elegba, the spirit who owns the roads and opens the way to clear and uninhibited passage.
