What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's name derives from the Ewe word adzinuku, referring collectively to all the food products the earth provides, giving the celebration an explicitly encompassing scope covering the full range of Vo prefecture's agricultural output rather than a single crop such as yam or maize, and it is celebrated specifically as thanks to the earth deities for both abundant harvests and the ongoing survival and continuity of the community across generations
