  "lineage": "Mande donsongoni (\"hunter's harp\") vocal-and-instrumental tradition of the Wassoulou region of southern Mali and adjacent eastern Guinea, performed by initiated hunters at hunter-society gatherings and at funerals. The donsongoni is a six-string calabash harp distinct from the larger courtly kora — associated with the rural-egalitarian hunter's society (donso-tòn) rather than the hereditary griot caste. Repertoire spans hunting-praise, ancestor-evocation, and esoteric hunter-society initiation material. The Wassoulou modernization brought the donsongoni into popular music through Oumou Sangaré.",
