BENIN: National Folk Dance Ensemble »Les As Du Benin«, Cotonou

Africa, the black continent, is known as the cradle of the mankind. Today, the African continent is mostly inhibited by black population, with the exception of northern Africa, which is inhabited by Arabs.

The group »Les As Du Benin« was established in 1991 and is a true ambassador of its country. Since Benin is the cradle of voodoo cult, the group preserves its voodoo cultural heritage. The country also has a remarkable tradition of music and rhythms. The range of emotions is supported by the rhythms of the drums and dancers’ body language.
