Afterbapeya After bapeya dance

After the dancing ceremony has come to a close, the music has generally stopped, but some villagers such as Bekanda Jeanne are still singing to themselves. The Bagyeli take blades of grass and tie them around each person's neck which is supposed to protect them against the spirit of the mask. Then everybody returns to the middle of the village. Ngyemba sits down and plays a thumb piano while the villagers are conversing. They start to say goodbye to the visitors as they prepare to leave Ngolo, going back to Kribi. Some last minute requests are being made about what people like to have (money) and what Nadine should bring next time she comes as she is handed a baby.
