HOGBÉZA

Historical festival of the Ewe of Yoto. It recalls the events of the settlement in this region of the ancestors of the Ewe who came from the great exodus of Notsé at the beginning of the 17th century. It is celebrated in August with a religious background linked to the offering of the first fruits of the fields to the Dza divinity and to the imploring of the blessings of the gods and the spirits on the populations of this region. On this occasion, there are prayers, dances and songs from the Ewe culture. A moment of joy and reunion.
