The Ganga Aarti
► The Ganga Aarti
The Ganga Aarti is a spiritual Hindu ceremony, performed in honour of the Ganges River. Held at dusk on the steps or ghats of cities such as Varanasi, Rishikesh and Haridwar, the ceremony attracts devotees. The Ganga Aarti is a symbolic tribute to the power and sanctity of the Ganges River, which is considered the manifestation of the goddess Ganga, mother, purifier and protector of life.
During the ritual, priests dressed in white and saffron perform a sacred choreography with lit oil lamps and offerings of incense, flowers and marigold petals. Each movement, accompanied by Vedic chants and traditional music, creates an atmosphere of reverence and serenity. The smoke from the incense rises like a bridge between heaven and earth, while the lamps illuminate the waters of the river, representing purification and detachment from earthly concerns.
The Ganga Aarti is not only a ceremony, but a community experience where people give thanks and respect to life itself. Many spectators participate by releasing small floating lamps on the river, each one symbolizing wishes, prayers and thanks. This final act connects the devotees with the sacred energy of the river and reinforces the deep relationship between nature, spirituality and humanity.
The Ganga Aarti is a reminder of the importance of spirituality and the need to respect and protect the natural resources that sustain life, while symbolizing the cycle of life, death and rebirth that defines Hindu philosophy.
📢 Live the Ganga Aarti ceremony and the Kumbh Mela Festival

Last speaker of Cuepe language
🗣️ Testimony of the last Cuepe speaker
@Joan Riera Last Places and Aníbal Bueno - Travel Photography visited the Cuepe community of Curoca Oasis in southwestern Angola in 2019. While Anibal was gathering material for the ethnographic book 'Last Tribes of Angola', Joanmet Chetu Kolela. She was 98 years old and one of the last Cuepe language speakers. It was a really emotive moment. Rest in peace, Chetu.
In Last Places, we try to revive the Cuepe language with the support of the younger generation, such as the granddaughter of Chetu, who knew a Cuepe traditional song.
🗣️ Testimonio de la última hablante de Cuepe
@Joan Riera Last Places y Aníbal Bueno - Travel Photography visitaron la comunidad Cuepe del Oasis de Curoca en el suroeste de Angola en 2019. Mientras Aníbal estaba reuniendo material para el libro etnográfico 'Last Tribes of Angola', Joan se encontró con Chetu Kolela. Tenía 98 años y era una de las últimas hablantes de Cuepe. Fue un momento muy emotivo. Descansa en paz, Chetu.
En Last Places, tratamos de revivir la lengua Cuepe con el apoyo de las generaciones más jóvenes, como la nieta de Chetu, que conocía una canción tradicional Cuepe.

The baby blessing ritual of the hyena men
The baby blessing ritual of the hyena men
In a remote village in northern Nigeria, there are the so-called 'hyena men', who domesticate these animals to use them in rituals to bless babies, but not just any way… We’ll tell you.
The hyena is considered the representation of the devil on earth, so it is believed that, after this domestication process, Allah has managed to tame this animal and, therefore, it is blessed. After this, defenseless children, days old, are exposed to these animals, with the aim of granting them health and prosperity; but this will only happen if the infants remain alone with them and come out unharmed.

The Snake Girls Ritual
Snake Girls Ritual 🐍
The Yacouba or Dan people are made up of about 800,000 people and are one of the most important in the Ivory Coast and Liberia. They are known for being great artisans, especially for their masks, which are one of the main differentiating elements of this society. The most identifying element of the traditional Dan people is the practice of the Snake Girls Ritual.

The syncretic bwiti religion
► The syncretic bwiti religion
Bwiti is a cult or spiritual movement practiced by the Fang tribe of Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon, as well as other ethnic groups such as the Punu and Mitsogo. The etymological root of the word bwiti is a distortion of the word Bo-hete, which means empowerment or release of a fluid. Therefore, bwiti would be that which allows a person to obtain freedom from it. This religion incorporates animism, ancestor worship, and, in some cases, Christianity into a syncretic belief system.
💥 Do you want to attend a Bwiti ceremony?
During our next trip to Equatorial Guinea from 9 to 17 December 2024, we will witness a bwiti ceremony in the jungle area of Cogo. It will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of this trip to Equatorial Guinea.

Kinshasa street artists turn trash into art
Kinshasa street artists turn trash into art
The D.R. of the Congo performers are turning trash into art. Dolls found in rubbish dumps, radio parts and discarded flip-flops are among the items used to create surreal costumes by street artists in Kinshasa highlighting political and environmental issues. ‘They call us bewitched’
Vibrant, poetic, radical and inspiring urban performing art. La vie est belle association drinks from the Mobutu era... In the 1970s, the autocratic leader Mobutu Sese Seko introduced his program of ‘Zairianisation’. The aim was to restore African authenticity to the country and to erase the traces of western colonial domination. The process also involved the promotion of the arts. Mobutu created the Cultural Promotion Fund (FPC) which subsidized cultural projects by taxing advertising, and the Mobutu Sese Fund, which granted an allowance to elderly and ailing Zairian artists.
