Paul Bunyan wears a red & black plaid shirt and under that he wears suspenders. Paul wears very thick green pants & spiked leather  boots. To keep his head warm he wears a red & white plaid hat with a fuzzy ball on top. And to chop down the trees he uses a two-sided ax. To get the pine pitch out of his hair and whiskers, he pulls up a tree and uses the tree as a comb and combs it out.

Balla Kouyaté & World Vision


Balla Kouyaté is one of the greatest balafon players from the Djeli or “griot” tradition in Mali. In the African tradition the Djeli is a historian, musician, dancer and performer who has the task of reminding the community of its traditional greatness, and of the accomplishments of those who have come before.

I didn't like the music. Because it was music that I don't like and it made me go to sleep and it was boring. But I think that the instrument being used in the picture is very tradition for his country.
