Fotedjuga - a white jester who plays Malinké music (Michael Moon Bear or Dai Muramoto, e.g.)
Fote - mot de Susu pour un blanc
Kotedjuga - caste de farceur de Malinké
Fotedjuga - un farceur blanc qui joue la musique Malinké (par exemple, Michael Moon Bear ou Dai Muramoto)
(Etymological note: it is commonly believed that Doug Kane and Michael Moon Bear coined this word, but the oral tradition of the Fotedjuga makes documenting this claim difficult.)
