I'm on my way to the equatorial forest region, seeking rejuvenation beneath the majestic baobabs and healing from the therapeutic essences of the land.
My journey is one of initiation, culture, and art, nourished by the melodies of the Symphony of Origins. As night falls in the village, tales and legends come alive, myths unfold, and discoveries await.
The sacred essence permeates the air as the Bia So Mengong Festival orchestra plays on.
I'm headed to Mengong, where art fertilizes culture and gives birth to a festival of sharing, harmony, and sacred encounters. With the theme
"Bia So Mengong Beyond Borders," this edition promises to be unforgettable, featuring a diverse range of activities designed to delight everyone.
The opening ceremony is a spectacle in itself: a parade, general procession, special performances by acrobats and contortionists, speeches, the kickoff match of the Fraternity Tournament, and visits to exhibition stands.
The cast is equally impressive, with traditional dance groups, authorities, volunteers, and cultural actors from various regions and countries.
Speeches will resonate with eloquence and uniqueness, delivered by distinguished guests, including the Mayor, the PCA of The Belinga Foundation, the Governor, and a representative of the Minister of Culture.
Honorable Céline Mendoua will kick off the Fraternity Tournament, adding to the excitement.
Don't miss the discovery stage, where local talents will be showcased, and the exhibition stands will reveal their secrets. Mark your calendars for 10 AM sharp,
and be punctual to experience this extraordinary celebration of fraternity and cultural diversity!
