TOGBUI-AGNI

Harvest festival of the Adja-Tado of the Moyen-Mono. The festival is the occasion for the solemn release of the "King of the earth". Celebrated in Tado, it gives rise to traditional ceremonies to exorcise illnesses, to thank the ancestors' spirits and to thank the mother earth. Offerings are also made to the deities to ask for abundant harvests for the year and to implore blessings on the populations. It is also a festival of reunion of the Adja-Tado diaspora which takes place in joy and gladness.
