Counts reflect the Atlas catalogue. A link may represent a recording, a publication or an association with a local tradition.
The narrator in the Mali page’s 1970 Sunjata entry is Tiémoko Koné. The French National Library catalogue credits Lassana Doucouré and Madame Marta for the transcription and translation of the Bambara–French edition. The record lets us distinguish the teller from the people who made this telling available to new readers.
