Mumbo Jumbo explained! The super interesting and exciting information about Mumbo Jumbo! Mumbo Jumbo is one of the most powerful masks in the Mandinka group of the Gambia (note: the Mandinka are in many places, and not all groups are exactly the same). When Mumbo Jumbo is performed, it is the most senior mask, and it cannot be performed during the day because it is far too dangerous, it is normally performed on moonless nights. The time at which it is performed emphasizes the great power and significance of this mask, as well as the danger involved. For more information on African art, I highly suggest the Visona et. al. “A History of Art in Africa”, Second Edition, 2008, 2001 Pearson Prentice Hall. It’s really very good for a general overview, though it does not go as deeply into metaphors, symbolism, and power as is necessary to properly understand objects in African art. But hey, for an introductory text, I certainly won’t complain! Weil, Peter M. 1971. The Masked Figure and Social Control: The Mandinka Case. Peter M. Weil.
