Kassa is a harvest dance from the Malinke people of North-Eastern Guinea. In the Malinke language, the term “Kassa” means granary, which is where the corn is stored after the harvest. The fields for harvest are often far away from the village, and the men who do the farming often stay there for the whole week. Women will usually accompany them in order to sing, dance, and prepare meals. The accompanying drummers will play Kassa for the workers all day long. At the end of the harvest, a big party takes place in the village, called Kassalodon.
