  • Good video but you could have used a SAWA music for the clip...Thank you for sharing though.

    And the Ngondo is not a water festival.

  • ah I miss this!!!

  • Thank you so very much. How close is this music to the tempo of the music that must have been there?

  • There is more sacred part; it consists of the immersion of a sacred pot in Wouri by a diver who stays 9 minutes (!!) in water to go to see the ancestors who are at the bottom of Wouri. When it comes back to surface, the pot is NOT WET and it contains the message of the ancestors whom the initiates will decode it.

  • This must have been a really fun time!
