The Goli dance of the Baulè tribe (Ivory Coast) The Baulè are a population of farmers and the main tribe in Ivory Coast and they represent about 23% of the population of the country. Still today, these people keep their own traditions and rituals based on ancestral dances and masks. The Baoulé are traditionally animists and they believe in the existence of spirits in which the soul of the ancestors resides. The spirits intervene in the life of the community, and they do it thanks to the ritual Goli sacred dance in which they take the form of a mask, that consists of a wooden facial effigy, of raffia and fabric costumes and metallic anklets. The masks represent the gods and are always worn by men; each mask is linked to a specific dance, with a mask we mean the whole costume and not just the part that covers the face of the dancer.
