About this Event
L’Ambass Bey is a traditional and heritage dance of the Sawa people in Cameroon. Originating from the Littoral region, this dance is particularly popular among the Douala, Pongo, and Bankon communities.
L’Ambass Bey is characterized by its fast rhythm and choreographed movements. Dancers gracefully move their shoulders in sync, often performing in pairs or solo. The music that accompanies this dance is mainly acoustic, featuring instruments like the guitar and conga.
This dance is often performed at festive or funeral ceremonies and was influenced by German dances during the colonial period. It stands as a strong symbol of Cameroon’s rich cultural and artistic heritage.
