The Burkina Faso page distinguishes the 1912 record of Dêdé and the False Bride at Fada from its appearance in the 1913 collection. A song heard in the village is one of the clues to Dêdé’s identity. Compare what the listener in the village knows with what you know from following the journey from its beginning.
