Kononfla: Local brass band presented to the chief and notables to seek their blessing

Kononfla, August 9, 2026 – The Honorable Bema Coulibaly, Member of Parliament for the Bazré-Kononfla constituency, officially presented the Kononfla marching band on Sunday, August 9, 2026. The ceremony took place at the seat of the traditional chieftaincy, in the presence of customary authorities.

According to reports, this initiative had a dual purpose. First, it aimed to officially inform the chief and his council about the existence and activities of the musical group. Second—and most importantly—the MP sought the blessings of the guardians of tradition to ensure the band’s smooth operation and future success.

The Honorable Bema Coulibaly emphasized the importance of this step, which reflects respect for local customs and traditions. As a dynamic element of Kononfla’s social and cultural life, the band needed to receive the traditional authorities’ blessing before commencing its public activities.

After the presentation, the chief and the notables offered their blessings to the band and its members. They also commended the MP’s initiative, noting that it strengthens the ties between modern institutions and the traditional chieftaincy.

This meeting marks a significant milestone for the Kononfla marching band, which can now count on the moral and spiritual support of the chieftaincy for its upcoming performances.
