Dance, Voodoo, Dance (Benin)

Description

Among the many ethnic groups of Benin, two in particular stand out as practitioners of the ancient rites of voodoo. This program explains who the voodoo practitioners are as well as the mythical origins of their cult; it also shows the music and dance of these two groups-wild and furious, acrobatic and physically demanding, beautiful and harmonious, rhythmically infectious.
