Western, Mid-North Africa: Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso – I was fascinated by the culture; most people are animists. On the 10th of January, in Benin, the feast of State Sovereignty that is a voodoo holiday, is celebrated. The word “voodoo” is from the language of the Fulan tribe and means “spirit” and the tradition goes back hundreds of thousands of years … And I will tell about this festival and other ceremonies.
