Introduction to Africa

Africa is a melting pot of cultures with over 2,000 languages! Each country has its own traditions, music, dance, and art. For example, in West Africa, you’ll find colorful clothing and the vibrant beats of drums in music. In North Africa, the Arabic influence is strong, and you might hear the beautiful sounds of the oud.

Festivals are a big part of African culture. For instance, the Gerewol Festival in Chad or the Timkat Festival in Ethiopia, where people dress in traditional clothes and celebrate their heritage. African art is also famous worldwide, known for its beautiful masks, sculptures, and paintings, each telling a story of the local history and beliefs.
