Abengourou, seat of the Agni Ndenye kingdom in eastern Cote d'Ivoire, hosts a cultural festival tied to the Route des Rois, a heritage circuit connecting Akan royal courts. The gathering celebrates chieftaincy traditions, drumming, and royal regalia in a region where a traditional monarchy still functions alongside the modern state.

Festival de la Route des Rois is the kind of music festival where the useful story begins with place, timing and the way people move through the day.
