Dede literally means “grandfather.” Dedes are a caste of spiritual guides who are believed to be descendants of the Prophet Muhammed. Their presence is essential to the realization of communal services. Clarke (1999) remarks that the position of dede involves “inherited spiritual leadership, involving intimacy with God, arbitration among people, and musical skills with accompanying special duties and privileges” (p. 100).
