	Lobi People
		Lobi villages are spread out and often intermingle with one another.
		It is believed by the Lobi that at one time they lived in a metaphorical Garden of Eden at one with the god and wanting for nothing.
		The Lobi are able freely to distinguish between the bush spirits and the thila based on a series of factors, which at first seem quite confusing to the outsider.

		The importance of male property is further emphasized by the Lobi practice of "virilocal" residence, in which a wife goes to live in her husband's house upon marriage.
		Finally, each Lobi also belongs to a village space (dil) and therefore to a community attached to the same land whose surface is under the protection of a spiritual presence venerated by all its occupants, even if they belong to different lineages.
		The Lobi sculptor, however, is in the heart of the battle that men fight against the occult and for which he is carving wood.

	Case Histories/Lobi's Story
		Lobi is a blue roan male Cocker Spaniel, born in Brazil in 1998 and who sadly developed Rage Syndrome.
		They never seriously considered having Lobi put to sleep or having him rehomed as they knew it was not his fault and they also felt that having brought him home as a puppy, it was their responsibility to look after him.
		Lobi is still and always will be the kind of dog who always tries to have control of his "pack" and territory.

		Lobi was again critical of the reactions of the Democratic Party of Albanians, DPA, a member of the country's governing coalition.
		Lobi blamed the collapse of the council on the DPA's decision to withdraw its members after an armed attack on the Dora restaurant in Tetovo, widely-held as the party's second headquarters.
		Lobi also published a regular report by IWPR senior editor Mirko Klarin on the trial of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic at the UN tribunal in The Hague.

	LOBI Albanian Weekly
		The first motive (aim) of Lobi is easily located, on the one hand, in the possibility of professionally-made weekly influence on the overall situation of Albanian media, and on the other hand in the creation of a specific space for publishing information, analyses and different personal views about a certain event inside the country.
		The problem for Lobi cannot be solved from the start: reaching the sale of at least 3,000 copies per issue as a minimum to cover the main selling locations without guaranteeing the number of sold copies.
		The advertisement of Lobi is free whereas the compensation to the electronic media consists of printing their programs in the magazine as well as a joint co-production of certain types of programs (from political to computer ones).

	Lobi
		Lobi sculpture has been widely collected, in part because the figures they carve display the sort of strength of form that is admired by collectors of African art, and in part because the Lobi are such prolific artists and much art has been available on the market.
		The Lobi community is not organized on the basis of kinship or political ties and lacks any kind of centralized political authority in the form of a chief king or council of village elders.
		The Lobi provide an example of a people whose lives are so closely controlled by invented spirits that the very fabric of their social structure is determined by the rules for behavior these spirits have established.

		The Lobi, who inhabit northern Ghana and southern Burkina Faso, are well-known for the xylophone music played at their funeral ceremonies.
		Recordings of Lobi music have been in evidence since at least the 1960s, yet it seems that many years have gone by since a new set of recordings have been made available.
		Lobi funerary music is typified by a solo xylophone producing ostinato patterns which the jolõdar uses as a basis for the song and upon which they improvise.

		Lobi's sound on Duga is pretty stripped down, but doesn't convey the sparseness of, say, Ali Farka Toure.
		The cries of Lobi and his female backup singers are broken up by a simple, funky five note theme on the bass line of the lead guitar and peppery djembe exclamations.
		On "Sayo" one of the backup singers, upcoming star Ramata Diakite, shares the stage with Lobi in mourning the loss of his first wife; it's a pretty simple song but Ramata really makes a mark with her haunting lines.
