Lamin Songo

Lamin (on the left) has worked for 10 years as an artist. He knew from the beginning that he wanted to be an artisan, like his father, and once he finalised school, he started working with him in the crafts. He specialises in the use of horns to create different figures, specially birds. Every week he visits the local slaughterhouse to fetch left-over horns with which he can create his pieces. He shares the shop and his passion for horn figures with Vea Bambara.
