What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What makes this festival notable is its concentration: seven separate ethnic dance companies, Mebongo de Ukomba, Mokom de Ntobo, Molato de Opumita, Enengue, Apembe, Mayengu and Ballet Bantu de Eyabe, perform consecutively at a single venue over two days, a rare chance to see traditions specific to different Equatoguinean communities without travelling between them

02

The mystery stays covered

Government cultural officials have openly floated the idea of building this first edition into a future annual national folklore day, which would make it a rare government-backed platform explicitly aimed at counteracting the fragmentation of ethnic dance traditions across the country
