  Liner notes by Francois Di Dio  
  
  "The Song of the Andoumboulou is addressed to the spirits. For this reason the initiates, crouching in a circle, sing it in a whisper in the deserted village, and only the howling of the dogs and the wind disturb the silence of the night" -- Di Dio quoted by Mackey in Eroding Witness (p. 31) [Note: Mackey refers to an album titled Les Dogon where the same cut, titled, "Chant des Andoumboulou" appears.]
