The Bozo, mostly fishermen and farmers, live in the northern part of the Bambara country in the inner Niger delta and remain semi-nomadic to this day, moving their settlements according to the seasonal floods. A Mandé-speaking people, they speak Sorogame. Within their group, one distinguishes the Sorko or Sorogo, the Hain, and the Tie. Beyond their remarkable masks, the Bozo and the Bambara are renowned for their puppets of varying sizes and often articulated, exhibited during the Sogow bo puppet theater which is organized at the initiative of the village youths, mainly in the Ségou region, and which plays an educational role. The invention of these puppets is attributed to the bush spirits who abducted Toboji Centa, a Bozo fisherman.
