En regards to the Igbo; is it actually a Masquerade or some sort of Masked ritual? From what references I can find, the Igbo masks and dances are part of a religious ceremony that invokes ancestor and element worship. They're not gatherings where everyone is masked, rather the masked characters are more shamanistic in the religious regard. I don't think it should be included in the article referencing a "Ball"; which is a formalized social dance in the European context, although I do think a separate article on the Igbo and their mask rituals should be in Wikipedia; if you haven't created one already.
