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.

Vive el inolvidable Festival Gerewol con Last Places
Live the unforgettable Gerewol Festival
During the month of October, the Mbororo nomads gather in the region near N'Djamena. This event consists of a large annual courtship ceremony, which lasts several days. Its goal is for the Mbororo women to choose a partner. In addition, this meeting serves to unify and unite the clans.
The boys prepare for the Gerewol Festival with a careful make-up session. They use natural pigments and wear their best finery. The young people dance with slow movements, accompanied by verses and grimaces. Their goal is to attract attention to be chosen by one of the single girls in the clan. The girl joins the dance of the boy she has liked, touches his heart with her hand, and immediately afterwards, the couple is discreetly lost in the night.

We will start planning from now a unique expedition we will both guide to a unique part of the African Continent. A celebration of our long friendship and an homage to African adventure & tribal travel. We will keep you posted…
