The Republic of Cameroon
· Each of Cameroon's ethnic groups has its own unique cultural forms. Typical
celebrations include births, deaths, plantings, harvests, and religious rituals
· Seven national holidays are observed throughout the year, and movable
holidays include the Christian holy days of Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter
Monday, and Ascension; and the Muslim holy days of 'Id al-Fitr, 'Id al-Adha,
and Eid Miladun Nabi.
· Music and dance are an integral part of Cameroonian ceremonies, festivals,
social gatherings, and storytelling. Traditional dances are highly choreographed
and separate men and women or forbid participation by one sex altogether.
· Cuisine varies by region, but a large, one-course, evening meal is common
throughout the country. A typical dish is based on cocoyams, maize, manioc,
millet, plantains, potatoes, rice, or yams, often pounded into dough-like fufu
(cous-cous)
