Very impressing... This is oe of the greatest Nigerian/ Arican cultural display))) You can really enjoy it when there is a big city carnival or big parties and events. Apart from deep cultial ties and ancient history of the play, the demonstration here has deep meanings, even the steps can be read and interpreted and those who really understand them enjoy best. Between the two
Thanks Man !!! This Ekpe/ Mgbe/ Nyankpe . It is a Cultural Dance in Manyu / Cameroon, Calabar/ Nigeria and Cuba. Those are the countries I know they have and dance Ekpe. I don't know if there are other countries. I am a Cameroonian and its my Culture too, I love my Culture very much .
I am proudly an Igbo, from Arochukwu to be precise and we practice ekpe, ekpo, inyamkpe etc. It is part of our culture, No doubt our brothers in the carribean practise it, together with the Nsibidi. Whether, Efik, Ibibio, Arochukwu, Abiriba, Cameroun, Jamaica, Haiti, Barbados, Cuba, or Puerto rico, the fact is that we share certain cultural ties like this. Our history is inter-wooven. Enyeneka sosong for posting.

we did it out of ignorance, we always had the knowledge of God deep down in our spirit, not a single african tribe was ignorant of the existence of a supreme source deity.. some even in embraced it. like we Ijaws who even had a shrine in dedication of the creator God. but for some reason they thought it better to worship smaller ones. At one point in our past we probably worshipped only God as creator. And then missed it. the fervency we now have for Christianity is a reflection of that.
Proud to be from Ndian/Cameroon. We also practice Ekpe.
