Mboum Dance from Chad

  • 2 yıl önce
In this video, I share with you the Mboum Dance from the Chad Republic in Central Africa. The dance originates from Baibokoum Province in the remote hilly region of South West Chad bordering Cameroun and The Central African Republic. This diverse region is home to three ethnic groups, Mboum, Laka and Ingambae all of whom display variations of this dance form.

Mboum Dance (Danse Mboum Tchad – in French) is one of the most authentic displays of original, indigenous traditional cultures that you will find anywhere in the world today. This dance has been kept alive and passed down by a few dedicated dance groups led by some of the last few genuine practitioners from past generations.

It is amazing that many of these traditional practices are still very much intact and authentic for us to witness and enjoy. Let me know what you think.
