Tabaski in Fulabugu! Last week and this week, the men and women have prepared themselves in Fulabugu. They've cut fabric and brought it to sewing places. These clothes will be worn on the holiday. The men have shaved their heads. The women have gotten their hair breaded [Lit. "their heads made"]. On the morning of the holiday, the people will go pray. When they leave the prayer-place, all the head of courtyards [as in, "households] will kill a sheep. Lots of meat will be cooked at everyone's home. People will go greet their relatives, in-laws and neighbors. In the afternoon and evening, people will gather and do all kinds of fun. Griots will sing and dance. There's no nice day like that of a holiday!
