Our Chi Wara CD rack represents a modern functional artistic
interpretation of the traditional Bamana icon chi wara. With space to hold up
to 65 compact discs, the rack is a unique storage solution that will
intrigue every visitor to your home.
During harvest festivals the Bamana wear a chi wara headdress, invoking the spirit of the antelope to teach the skills of farming, ensure a good harvest and guarantee the survival of the Bamana people. The philosophy of chi wara maintains that harmony may be achieved only by maintaining a dynamic equilibrium between men and women to build new life, and between sun and earth to grow new crops. |
