Larakaraka is a traditional courtship dance that originated from the Acholi people of Uganda. This dance, among the more than 50 Acholi dances, holds significant importance and is typically performed on special occasions, particularly weddings.
Serving as a romantic display of artistry and physical prowess, Larakaraka enables young men to exhibit their dancing skills, vitality, and agility, all with the intention of attracting a potential life partner.

The King of the Tofinu, a magical gent by the name of Abodohoue 🤴 1717.
The village was created in the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries by the Tofinu people who took to the lake to avoid Fon warriors who were taking people hostage to sell them to European enslavers.
In the 18th century, the King of Ganvié sought to protect his people, the Tofinu, from Fon slavers. To protect his people, the King of Ganvié was forced to order them to flee. And flee they did. For many a day and night they journeyed until they met the shores of Lake Nokoué and could go no further. Possibly footsore and definitely now trapped, the desperate King transformed himself into an egret (or possibly a hawk – it seems to depend on who is telling the story) and swooped across the lake until he spotted a habitable island holding promise of safety. However, the Tofinu were not a people who could simply swim to this new island with all their possessions. Now slightly annoyed, the King of Ganvié transformed yet again – only this time he became a crocodile – and carried his people across the lake on his own back. When the marauding Fon slavers reached the edge of Lake Nokoué, they were vastly disappointed, for they feared angry water spirits dwelt there and would not cross. Thus, the Tofinu were saved and have dwelled on the island ever since.

The talking drum is a percussion instrument native to West Africa. It has roots across various sub-Saharan cultures including the Yoruba of Nigeria, Akan of Ghana, the Serers of Senegal & Gambia. Historically, as the name suggests, the instrument was used as a means of communication between people as it imitates the way humans speak. Over time it also evolved into a form of musical entertainment due to its rhythmic sounds. The drum is shaped like an hourglass with two round leather drum heads on each side joined together by leather tension chords. It is held under the arm and played with a leather-coated stick. The tension chords in between allow the player the change the pitch of the drum by squeezing them with the body while striking it. The talking drum has been pivotal to musical genres such as Highlife, Juju, and Fuji, all of which are the historical precursors to today's Afrobeats. Icons like I.k Dairo, King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, and Sir Shina Peters featured the talking drum predominately in their music. King Sunny Ade's venture into the American market in the late 1970s & early 80s was pivotal to the sounds of the talking drum reaching mainstream consciousness. It has also been used by several other artists including the rock band King Crimson and neo-soul singer Erykah Badu. In 2018's Marvel/Disney hit movie, 'Black Panther', the talking drum was played by Senegalese Dummer - Massamba Diop and is featured prominently throughout the film's score. 🎞️✍🏾Sample Chief
