Fang - Guinea Ecuatorial

The Fang culture is easily recognizable in many typical phenomena found everywhere this ethnic group has settled in Central Africa, in the three republics of Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. among these are the epic tale of the Mvet and all the cultural dances that result from it, the fundamental cult of ancestors that is celebrated with the sound of xylophones, and finally the matrimonial regime of exogamy which consists of seeking her husband or wife outside her own clan.
These cultural peculiarities radically characterize the Fang culture in the Bantu era that it has invaded since the 15th and 16th centuries.
