Yol (Turkish for "The Road" or "The Way") is a 1982 Turkish film directed by Yılmaz Güney. The screenplay was written by Güney, and it was directed by his assistant Şerif Gören, who strictly followed Güney's instructions, as Güney was in prison at the time. Later, when Güney escaped from prison, he took the negatives of the film to Switzerland and later edited it in Paris. As a result, the film was selected as the Swiss entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 55th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
The film is a portrait of Turkey in the aftermath of the 1980 Turkish coup d'état: its people and its authorities are shown via the stories of five prisoners given a week's home leave. The film has caused much controversy in Turkey, and was banned until 1999 due to Yılmaz Güney's involvement rather than its content.
Yol tells the story of several prisoners on furlough in Turkey. Seyit Ali (Tarık Akan) travels to his house and finds that his wife (Şerif Sezer) has betrayed him and works as a prostitute. She was caught by her family and held captive for Seyit Ali to end her life in an honor killing. Though apparently determined at first, he changes his mind when his wife starts to freeze while travelling in the snow. Despite his efforts to keep her alive, he eventually fails. His wife's death relieves Seyit Ali from family pressure and he is saved from justice since she freezes but he has an internal struggle and must return to jail.
Yol is a cantonment town in Kangra district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
The town gets its name from YOL (Young Officers Leave camp), a small town established by British Indian Army around 1849. The Yol Cantt. (cantonment) was built in 1942. Formerly it was known as "majhaitha" village. Yol is the headquarters of the 9 Corps of Indian Army. The cantonment area is very beautiful and has a picturesque view.
Yol was the location of a Prisoner-of-war camp which hosted German soldiers in the First World War and Italian soldiers in the Second World War.
Frogman Elios Toschi, a member of the pre-Armistice Decima Flottiglia MAS and inventor of the "maiale", was one of the very few to escape from the camp. After the war, the former POW facility hosted ethnic Tibetan refugees from China.

Djolé (also known as Jolé or Yolé) is a mask-dance from Temine people in Sierra Leone. It is played traditionally with a large square drum called sikko.
Although a mask depicts a female, it is carried by a male.
Djolé is played usually during big feasts which involve many villages to celebrate a good harvest, the end of the Ramadan or a marriage.
Nowadays the rhythm has been rearranged to be played with the djembé and is very popular in particular in Guinea.
Laila i ko korobé, korobé, korobé, mami watoné, aya, sico leleleko aya
sico la i ko na, sico la i ko, wa wango sico la i ko, wa wango sico la i ko
Ucsuz bucaksiz bir yolda yürüyorum tek basima
Herkes hakkini helal etsin kalmasin tek bir lokma
Bu yolda ölmek var belki de dönmemek
Ömür bitse bile yol bitmeyecek
Bazen buz gibi bir pinardan iciyorum kana kana
Bazen kizgin kumlar üstünde yürüyorum yana yana
Dünya hanci biz garip yolcu haydi bastir be oglum
Allah`a bir can borcumuz var bir tek ona güven
Yolun acik olsun
Baki kalan bu kubbede hos bir seda biliyorsun
Binin yarisib esyüz daha ne düsünüyorsun
Topraktan geldi insan yine topraga dönecek
