in #wafrica6 years ago


Greetings to you all, welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about my daring Africa. I want to briefly talk about the culture and the tradition of Africa.

The rich and diverse African culture varies not only from one country to another, but within each country as well. The culture of each ethnic group centres on family and can be found in each group’s art, music and oral literature.Throughout Africa, the people speak a variety of languages, practice numerous religions and reside in various types of dwellings.

Each ethnic group have it own traditions that make their culture unique, from music to poetry, dancing, marriage, oral tradition and many more.

singing is very important to the African society because the melody and rhythm follow the intonation of the song text,Music is a form of communication and it plays a functional role in African society. Songs accompany marriage, birth, rites of passage, hunting and even political activities,Dance is an integral part of the African culture, and it utilizes symbolic gestures, masks, costumes, body painting and props to communicate.many African people express themselves in other art forms as well.

African is best culture in the world, majority of people who live in this continent are natives and indigenous to the continent, there are people who have migrated to Africa from across the globe for centuries.
