Art: Dance festival ongoing in Cameroon

The 6th  edition of the dance and percussion festival Abok I Ngoma is currently going on in Cameroon. The festival is supposed to hold from  July 16  to 31  in three towns, Yaounde, Ebolowa and Akom2. The opening ceremony took place yesterday at the Conference Centre in Yaounde. This year’s festival will feature contemporary dance forms as well as hiphop. Since the first edition, the festival’s prestige has increased although its main themes -dance and percussion-are still largely unknown to the wider public.
