Albert Market, Banjul

Audio17 min BanjulWolof

Cloth, spice and negotiation, recorded on a Saturday morning.

A walking recording from the cloth aisles to the fish end, made with the traders' agreement.

Negotiation here is a performance with rules, and the recording is partly a lesson in them.

The market's layout has changed twice since independence; two elders describe the earlier versions.
