Translated postcard caption reads: "Upper Volta / In Tierengo Country / Niankar near Banfora / The orchestra of a "society of farming" plays a true leadership role: it leads, supports, directs, regulates, accelerates, or calms the raging pace of work, of breathing, of gestures of men, bent under the sun."
