Message from Mr. Orou

One of the narrowest countries in Africa, Benin is among the most famous in Africa. The pioneer role played in African democratization, the promotion of vaudoun as the base of a mysterious culture, our controversial kingdom stories and histories make people say that Benin is a very special country in West Africa. Reckoned as the “Latin quarter of Africa”, the dedication of Benin people, our multi-tribal cultures, our music and diverse dances make Benin an attractive country. The present talk will not be a classical ones but basically a free practical class of African drum and a West African food tasting in a cheerful African atmosphere. Please, do not hesitate to join us.
