The Samay is a mythological figure of the Diola people in the Casamance.
Multiple times in the course of the year, i.e. during the Journées culturelles, a folk festival in the village is organized. The Samay invites the people of the village to participate in the festivities.
He can run very hard and with his stick he mandates strict order in the community. He knows everything that happens in the village.
He can be considered the ceremony master of the traditional dance event.
