Capo Tribù Dogon is a painting performed with different mediums on wood panel.

The composition presents a typical festive african mask, abstract layered elements and a spear in the hand of the subject which, according to the Dogon tribal traditions, represents vigor and power.

Starting with French anthropologist Marcel Griaule, several authors have confirmed that traditional Dogon religion of Mali region, incorporates details about extrasolar astronomical bodies that could not have been detected by naked-eye observation such as the star Sirius B and C.

As the Dogon used pigments to color what became the subject of their incredible ritual dances, Alberto applied natural pigments on the background layer during the composition.

Dogon, ethnic group of the central plateau region of Mali, spreaded across the border into Burkina Faso.

There is some doubt as to the correct classification of the many dialects of the Dogon language. Their language has been defined in the Mande- Gur, and other branches of the Niger-Congo language family, but its relationship to other languages of the family, if any, is uncertain.
