Arará

Arará is the music and religion of the Fon and Ewe ethnicities, from the Dahomey region, an ancient French colony situated in the Guinea Gula. The religion is similar to the Yoruba tradition and there have been various crossovers and exchanges of songs, deities and rituals between the Santería and Arará.

Dancer Of The Week

Sanne Keijzer

Sanne Keijzer
Dance because you like it and show that. Own the dance. A good student can copy the teacher but a great dancer learns and then makes it her own. So, create your own style and do your thing. And very important: dare to dance!
