At a Burkinabé wedding, you must make noise and lots of it. If you have a gun, shoot it in the air (preferably without bullets – see collection of wedding pictures). If you have less means than that, get creative. Here, Othniel’s nephew has fabricated his own noise-maker – a motorcycle wheel spoke is bent around and fastened to a stick by some old rubber tire tube. A nail is also attached. Cut off the head of a match, place it in the spoke, put the nail snugly against the match head, pound the head of the nail on a rock, and boom! You have your noise-maker. Pretty ingenious (and inexpensive). Watch the video for the demo.
